What are SIPs?
Systematic Investment Plans, or SIPs, offer a convenient and disciplined approach to investing in funds. Instead of investing a lump sum, SIPs allow you to invest a fixed amount of money at regular intervals, usually monthly or quarterly. This makes investing more accessible, even for those with a limited budget. It enables the investors to select the best category of investment and choose the best SIP plans and schemes to make the investments of their fund in a given time. The regular interval in an SIP could be monthly, quarterly, or annually. However, the prescribed interval varies weekly, monthly, and quarterly in the Kotak SIP investment plan. You can decide the amount and frequency of your investment by using an SIP Calculator online and achieve your goal.

How Does the Kotak SIP Plan Work?
Kotak SIP Plan functions like any other Systematic Investment Plan (SIP). Here's how it works:
-
Choose a Fund Scheme: Kotak offers a variety of mutual funds and other fund schemes across different asset classes (equity, debt, hybrid). Pick the one that aligns with your investment goals and risk appetite.
-
Set Up Your SIP: Decide how much you want to invest regularly (minimum can be Rs. 500 with Kotak) and how often (monthly, quarterly, etc.).
-
Automatic Deduction: Kotak will automatically deduct the SIP amount from your linked bank account at the chosen frequency.
-
Purchase Fund Units: The deducted amount is used to purchase units of your chosen fund scheme. The number of units you receive depends on the prevailing Net Asset Value (NAV) of the scheme.
-
Rupee-Cost Averaging: By investing regularly, you purchase units at different NAVs, which helps average out the overall cost per unit. This is beneficial over time, especially in volatile markets.
**The Kotak Bank SIP interest rate for the Kotak SIP plans generally varies from 9 to 18% annually. The interest rate is subject to increase or decrease, depending on the market.
