Systematic Investment Plans (SIP), also referred to as SIP, are a tool provided by mutual funds to help investors make disciplined investments. An investor can use the SIP function to make a single, predetermined investment in the mutual fund scheme of their choice at regular periods.
The predetermined Systematic Investment Plan intervals could be weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually, the fixed sum of money could only be 500. Due to average costing and the power of compounding, an investor who chooses the SIP way to invest can do it in a time-bound manner without worrying about the state of the market.
Benefits of SIP
Starting a SIP (systematic investment plan) in one of our mutual fund schemes has various benefits. An SIP is more cost-effective and offers the advantages of disciplined investing and rupee cost averaging. Each AMC (asset management firm) has a different minimum investment requirement for SIP.
For a given amount of time and a predetermined number of payments, we start SIP in our mutual funds.It is stated that ‘the minimum term of a SIP in plans is frequently six months.’It is advised to have a minimum holding period of five years during which you won’t touch your money in order to benefit from a SIP.’

What Occurs if the Current SIP Expires?
Will you have the choice to renew the current Systematic Investment Plan, or must you start over? Read on to learn more.
Renewal of SIP
To maintain continuity, you can choose to renew the SIP of your MF plans at the end of the period. The AMC often sends you a reminder to renew your SIPs. Based on the scheme’s returns during the course of the SIP period, you can decide whether or not to renew your SIP.
You can get the SIP renewal form from the relevant AMC website. Complete the form, and then deliver it to the closest AMC office or to the branch office of Karvy Computershare or Computer Age Management Services, the registrar and transfer agents. Additionally, you can request that your distributor or IFA renew your mutual fund Systematic Investment Plan (independent financial advisor).
The renewal instruction must be accompanied by a copy of the KYC acknowledgement if the previous folio is not KYC (know your customer) compliant.
When Is a SIP Renewal Due
The ‘golden rule’ of investment states that one should purchase when interest rates are low and sell them when they are high.. An investor contributes the same amount each month to a Systematic Investment Plans whose net asset value fluctuates in line with market values. When prices are low, the net asset value drops, which directly translates into the investor receiving more units of money.
Likewise, you receive double returns when prices increase. One is the return you receive when you buy additional units, and the other is the return you receive when you buy older units at a lower price. This investing strategy provides a well-planned investment because it is not dependent on market timing.
If the investor is able to make consistent monthly investments, the Systematic Investment Plans should be renewed at any time during the term or at the end. No matter how volatile the market is, one must continue investing over a lengthy period of time, especially when the market is in a slump.
Large profits will undoubtedly result from this in the long run. No matter when you started or stopped the SIP, it can be quite profitable if you have a solid investing time zone, let’s say one of at least 5 years.
SIP Specifics
At the time of renewing the Systematic Investment Plans, ‘You may change the installment amount, date, or frequency of investing.’ You are able to give the ECS (electronic clearing services) mandate from a different bank account than the one you previously used.
Time Period
To assure a continuous investment, provide the renewal instruction at least 30 working days before the deadline. By quoting the same folio number, the renewal of an existing SIPs can be completed. The initiation of the SIPs will occur between 21 and 30 days after the form is sent.
Online Repurchase
Systematic Investment Plans renewal was initially handled offline. Investors must provide the AMC with the ECS auto debit mandate form and the SIP renewal date in order to renew their SIPs offline. Investors who activated SIP through the online platform and/or the offline route, as instructed by the relevant AMC, have had the option to renew their SIP online for the past one to two years.
For each AMC, the SIPs registration procedure could be different. Existing offline investors in Quantum Mutual Fund as well as investors who made investments online can renew their SIPs. You must first convert the offline folio to the online mode on the basis of a PIN, which is easily obtained online, if you previously had an offline Systematic Investment Plan under an offline folio that has since expired and you want to renew the offline SIP through online mode under the same folio.
The investor can map the offline folio(s) and register for the SIPs renewal online by following the instructions after the PIN is issued to the investor’s registered email address with the AMC.
Procedure for Registering
In order to register for or renew a SIPs, existing online and offline investors who have converted their folios to an online format as described above must first log in with their user ID, choose the folio (if there are multiple folios), and then choose the online Systematic Investment Plan option. They can then select the plan, frequency, SIPs duration, amount, etc. from there.
Then, investors will receive their online Unique Registration Number (URN No.)
By entering into his bank’s website and choosing Quantum Mutual Fund as the biller, the investor must register for the same.
