What is Step Up SIP?
A standard SIP keeps the investment amount constant. A **Step Up SIP** allows you to increase your monthly investment amount by a fixed percentage (e.g. 10% annually) as your salary increases. This small annual increment dramatically accelerates your wealth creation and helps you achieve your financial goals much faster.
