As we all know, SIP or Systematic Investment Plan is an investment mode in Mutual Funds where investments happen in small amounts at regular intervals in the Mutual Fund schemes. You can invest in SIP via Bank Mandate or through Net Banking.
In this article, we will focus on the Net Banking Mode.
In Net Banking Mode, adding a biller is an important step as it automates your investment, meaning your instalment will automatically get debited from your account at a specified date every month. If you do not set up the biller, then all your future instalments will not execute.
Please note that the process of adding a biller is different for different banks. In this article, we have used Kotak Mahindra Bank as an example.
