Mutual fund returns are not fixed. Equity funds have often given 10–14% a year over long periods in India, but some years are negative.
Good to know
Increase the SIP every year with your salary (a step-up SIP); it grows the final amount a lot.
Do not stop SIPs when markets fall; that is when each instalment buys more units.
Gains on equity funds above ₹1.25 lakh a year are taxed when you sell.
