## Frequently asked questions

### Does a larger monthly SIP amount make a short delay less costly?

No, the cost of delay scales with the monthly amount just like the maturity value does. A larger SIP loses proportionally the same percentage to a 2 year delay as a smaller one would, though the absolute rupee amount lost is bigger.
