Power of Compounding: Starting to invest early can be the mantra to create a sizeable corpus. A Rs 1,000 monthly SIP can generate a Rs 1 crore corpus, and a Rs 10,000 monthly SIP investment can generate a Rs 10 crore corpus, provided the investor has the patience to keep investing for a long time. With a long-term investment horizon, one can create a large corpus even with a small monthly SIP or lump sum investment amount. The power of compounding can boost their investments by many times in the long term. Know how much you need to invest through monthly SIPs and lump sum to create a Rs 6 crore corpus in 20, 25, and 30 years.
