Very soon, individuals will have the opportunity to start saving through a Monthly Investment Plan (SIP) with just Rs. 250. The stock market regulatory authority, SEBI, will soon release detailed guidelines regarding this initiative.
This announcement was made by SEBI Chairman Madhabi Puri Buch during a recent event. The aim is to encourage more domestic investors to participate in the stock market, which will also enhance financial inclusion, benefiting a significant portion of society as the market grows.
According to the latest figures from SEBI, investors contributed a total of Rs 26,459 crore through SIPs in December 2025, compared to Rs 24,320 crore in November 2024. Back in August 2016, the monthly investment in mutual funds was only Rs 3,122 crore.
Buch stated, “The introduction of a Rs 250 SIP limit will not only become a reality but will also significantly benefit the entire mutual fund industry. I believe it will draw more individuals into the financial inclusion initiative, greatly enhancing the Indian mutual fund sector over the next three years.”
He also noted that advancements in technology have allowed for reduced transaction costs, making it feasible to offer financial products with smaller investment amounts. Thanks to AI, processing investment applications has become quicker and more efficient, which will help extend mutual fund access to lower-income and low-saving groups.
