A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) lets you invest a fixed amount in a mutual fund every month. For example, investing ₹5,000 a month at 12% expected annual returns for 20 years could grow to roughly ₹49,95,740, of which ₹12,00,000 is what you actually put in.

No. SIPs invest in mutual funds, so returns depend on market performance and are not guaranteed. The expected return rate here is just an assumption you can adjust to see different scenarios.

Equity mutual funds in India have historically returned around 10-12% annually over long periods, though this varies by fund and market cycle. It's a good idea to test a few rates (say 10%, 12%, and 14%) to see a realistic range of outcomes rather than relying on a single number.
