SIP step up strategy
On how to accumulate ₹1 crore by investing ₹10,000 per month in equity mutual funds, Kartik Jhaveri, Director — Wealth Management at Transcends Capital said, "Normally, it has been found that people invest in mutual funds using monthly SIP. But, they continue investing same monthly amount even when their time horizon is long. My suggestion to such mutual fund investors is to maintain annual SIP or maintain step up in monthly SIP in sync with increase in one's income. For more simple strategy, one can maintain annual step up in monthly SIP."
On annual step up that one can maintain while investing in equity mutual funds in monthly SIP mode, Kartik Jhaveri of Transcends Capital said, "In general, one can maintian 10 per cent annual step up in one's monthly SIP to reap the benefit of compounding benefit."
Highlighting the benefit of SIP step up, Pankaj Mathpal of Optima Money Managers said, "A long term investor enjoys interest on interest, which we call compounding benefit. However, if an investor follows annual step up, this compounding benefit gets maximized."

In this assumption, annual SIP yield has been assumed 15 per cent per annum following 15 x 15 x 15 rule of mutual funds.

In this ₹10,000 monthly SIP for 15 years along with 10 per cent annual step up, one would be investing ₹38,12,698 whereas its interest would come around ₹64,99,143.
