Frequently Asked Questions
Is lumpsum better than SIP?+
It depends on your financial situation and market conditions. A lumpsum investment can generate higher returns if the market performs well right after you invest. However, a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) averages out the cost of your investment over time (rupee cost averaging) and is less risky, making it suitable for most investors.
What kind of returns can I expect?+
The expected rate of return depends entirely on the investment product you choose. Fixed Deposits offer lower, guaranteed returns, while mutual funds or stocks offer higher potential returns but come with market risks. The rate you enter should be based on the expected performance of your chosen investment.
Are the returns from a lumpsum investment taxable?+
Yes, returns from most lumpsum investments are taxable. The tax treatment depends on the type of investment. For example, interest from Fixed Deposits is taxed as per your income slab, while capital gains from mutual funds or stocks are taxed differently based on the holding period.
