₹25,000 step-up SIP can build ₹10 crore retirement corpus

Imagine you save a little money every month so you have plenty later.

A Systematic Investment Plan, or SIP, is a way of saving that lets you put a fixed amount into mutual funds regularly.

Mutual funds are pools where many people's money is invested together to grow over time.

This article explains a plan where someone starts saving ₹25,000 each month.

Each year, they save 10% more than the year before, like getting a raise and saving a bit of the extra money.

Over 25 years, those growing savings could grow into more than ₹10 crore, assuming the investments earn about 12% every year.

Saving more each year helps the money grow faster through compounding, which means the money earns returns on its own returns.

If someone only increases savings by 5% each year, it takes about 28 years to reach a similar amount.

The idea is that saving steadily and increasing savings over time can help reach big goals like retiring early.
