Rs 5,000 Vs Rs 6,000 SIP: How An Extra Rs 1,000 Could Boost Your Long-Term Corpus

Illustrative calculations suggest that increasing a SIP by just Rs 1,000, along with regular annual step-ups, could create a sizeable difference over the long term. Compounding can magnify these changes, although actual mutual fund returns remain uncertain and are never guaranteed.
