What is a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP)?
A step-up SIP raises your monthly contribution by a fixed percentage each year — for example, 10% more every year. This mirrors salary growth and can significantly boost your final corpus.
- Regular investments — invest a fixed amount at set intervals instead of one large lump sum.
- Rupee cost averaging — buy more units when prices are low and fewer when prices are high.
- Disciplined approach — automated contributions build a consistent saving habit.
- Compounding benefits — returns on returns accelerate long-term wealth creation.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good step-up percentage?
Many investors align step-up with expected salary growth — typically 5–15% per year. Even 10% annual step-up can dramatically increase long-term corpus versus a flat SIP.
