Assumes 12% CAGR (based on historical Nifty 50 index fund returns)

Is 12% Return Realistic for SIP?

Yes. Here's the data:

  • Nifty 50 index funds: 12–14% CAGR over 15+ years (historical data from NSE)
  • Large-cap equity funds: 10–13% average
  • Debt funds: 6–8% average

According to AMFI (Association of Mutual Funds in India), equity mutual funds have delivered an average 12.5% return over the last 20 years. However, past returns don't guarantee future performance.

Conservative scenario

Conservative investors should assume 10% returns. At 10%, your ₹5,000 monthly SIP becomes ₹10.3 lakhs in 10 years.

What If I Invest More?

  • ₹3,000/month → ₹6.97 lakhs in 10 years
