Investing in mutual funds through SIP online is faster, easier, and more efficient than the traditional way. The online SIP investment route doesn’t require a ton of paperwork or frequent trips to an office for signatures. Investors simply register with their email ID and phone number and submit digital copies of ID/address proof online. A secure account is then created and the investor can pick and choose the ideal fund, as all the information is readily available online on FundsIndia itself. What’s more, FundsIndia has a dedicated team of award-winning investment advisors to suggest funds best suited to an investor’s individual needs.

Traditionally, SIP investments required a large amount of paperwork and frequent trips to the fund house, bank, or AMC. But today, SIP investments can be started within a couple of hours in an entirely paperless and fully secure online environment.
