# Start a New SIP

This helps users understand potential returns from a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) and invest effortlessly.

* Example shown:
  * **Investment**: ₹10,000 per month
  * **Duration**: 15 years
  * **Assumed Average Return**: 12% per annum
* **Projected Value**: ₹47.59 Lakhs after 15 years.

This means, a person's investment would have grown to 47.59 lakhs, if he/she has invested ₹10,000 per month for 15 years at 12% assumed average return per annum. 

* The chart illustrates **compound growth** over time:
  * X-axis: Time (3Y, 6Y, 9Y, 12Y, 15Y)
  * Y-axis: Accumulated amount (starting from ₹6.1L up to ₹52.4L)
* The curve shows how returns accelerate due to compounding.

Now, you have understood the potential of an SIP. So let's start an SIP.
