What is a step-up (top-up) SIP?

A step-up SIP increases your monthly instalment by a fixed percentage or amount every year — usually when your salary goes up. Most fund houses and platforms let you set this once when you start the SIP.

Because the extra money goes in earlier than a lump-sum top-up later, it has more years to compound.
