SIP vs. FD: 10-Year Returns for ₹10k Monthly. PPF Benefits.

PERSONAL-FINANCE

Overview

A decade-long comparison pits equity SIPs against Fixed Deposits for Rs 10,000 monthly investors. SIPs project ₹23.23 lakh but with market risk, while 7% FDs yield a near-identical ₹24.01 lakh for guaranteed returns. PPF offers substantial tax-free growth over its 15-year term, projecting ₹32.54 lakh.

Equity SIPs: Growth Potential

Equity mutual funds, through Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs), offer investors a disciplined way to build wealth. Investing ₹10,000 each month for a decade totals ₹12 lakh in principal. With an assumed historical average annual return of 12%, these SIPs could potentially grow to ₹23.23 lakh, including approximately ₹11.23 lakh in returns. This approach is ideal for investors comfortable with market volatility who aim for long-term capital gains.
