One of the BEST investment for a very short time of a period which fetches as good as THREE times the return is none other than the SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN which is also known as the ( SIP) plan of investment and that really is a MIGIC-WAND for those who are retired and have a very little amount with them to spend their retirement life to invest upon .

" INFACT THIS IS ALL ABOUT THE "MUTUAL FUND " PLAN AND PROGRAMME OF THE ICICI BANK BUT I'M USING THE WORD SIP FOR THE SAME FOR SOME OBVIOUS REASON AND THE ENTIRE ARTICLE DESCRIBES ABOUT THE SAME " .

What is the Systematic Investment Plan

Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is a method of investing in mutual funds wherein an investor chooses a mutual fund scheme and invests a the fixed amount of his choice at fixed intervals. SIP investment plan is about investing a small amount over time rather than investing one-time huge amount resulting in a higher return.

Point to remember ::

REMEMBER- this is a kind of a SHARE type of an investment and the market is at times very upheal, at times UPHEAVELS and at time VOLATILE. It is always better and advisable to invest a small amount say Rs 2,00,000=00 to Rs 3, 00, 000=00 ie Rupees TWO LAKHS to Rupees THREE LAKHS at the most, and best of  the most. Invest this amount in a REPUTED BANK and I would say that the ICICI BANK in this matter is the best as I have a GOOD experience towards it.

Once fixed the ICICI Bank would deduct some money which they call it a PENALTY at the end when one redeems this amount. It could be anything between Rs 25,000=00 at the most to about something which could be even Rs 15,000=00 but at this present point of time it is Rs 25,000=00. To avoid this it would be better to oipen a FIX DEPOSIT of Rs 25,000=00 with the ICICI Bank on an AUTO-RENEWAL process. This would take care of the same, and the last deduction which they call it as a PENALTY deduction will never be deducted then.

The “ FIRST-TIME ”  clearance while opening thisAccount

While opening this account specially those who are SENIOR CITIZEN and who are living on the terminal benefits, it is mandatory for them to write in a piece of paper an understanding that AS THEY ARE RETIRED AND HAVE NO OTHER SOURCE OF EXTRA INCOME AND THEY TOTALLY DEPEND ON THE TERMINAL BENEFIT WHICH IS TOO MEAGRE AN AMOUNT, THEY WILL NOT PAY ANY  “ RECURRING DEPOSIT ” once they open their account after dep[ositing the amount for this scheme..

This is a PRE-MANDATORY requirement and this makes the process very clear and it dissolves all the ambiguity for everything.This saves a LOT of HASELLS thereafter.

I say it so with my experience because after opening this account after a month, phones after phones would ome from the Bank to pay an amount of Rs 3,000=00 per month till you keep this plan in the pieline or in the process.The FIXED DEPOSIT of Rs 25,000=00 and it’s TALE will save the skin from being BURNT more.

What Kind Of A Plan One Should Opt For

Go in for a plan for a LOW RISK and a HIGH RETURN if possible or a LOW RISK and RETURNS as accordingly.

 

This is PRE-MANDATORY and a pre- requisite to the terms making it very clear for the bankers all about the same while opening this account and this will save from various iginomy.

 

How does SIP work?

Once you apply for one or more SIP plans, the amount is automatically debited from your bank account and invested in the mutual funds you have purchased at the predetermined time interval. At the end of the day, you will be allocated the units of mutual funds depending on the NAV ( National Asset Value )  of a mutual fund.

With every investment in a SIP plan in India, additional units are added to your account depending on the market rate. With every investment, the amount being reinvested is larger and so is the return on those investments.



Pic :: Calculation of the " SIP" Per Month 

It is at the discretion of the investor to receive the returns at the end of the SIP’s tenure or at a periodic interval.

Let us understand with an example. Suppose you want to invest in a mutual fund and you have set aside a sum of 1 Lakh Rupees to invest in the same

 Now there are two ways in which you can make this investment. Either you can make a one-time payment of Rs 1 Lakh in the mutual fund, also known as lump sum investment. Or you can choose to invest via a Systematic Investment Plan or SIP.

You need to start an SIP of a set amount. Say Rs 500. Then Rs 500 will be deducted from your account and auto-credited to the mutual fund you want to invest in, at a certain fixed date every month. This will continue till the time period 

When to invest in a SIP?

SIP investments can be started anytime ensuring minimum risk with the correct suitable scheme plan for the investor. It is very important for the investor to choose the scheme which suits his long-term goals well. Hence, there is no suitable time frame within which an investor should start a SIP investment plan, the sooner the better. It is always better to keep a EVRY DAY track record of the same and the mechanism of how to track it would be told to you by the Banker when they DOWNLOAD the same which gives you an added advantage of knowing and reading the amount accredited in the account everyday. This downloading ought to be mandatorily done on the cell phone with the help of the Banker who would help you in this matter.

 

Good Scheme But It requires the GOVERNMENT INTEFIERENCE for better result

 No doubt it is again a very good scheme floated by the Bank and the ICICI infact is doing a very good job in it. It ensure a very good return as good as THREE TIMES the amount deposited in the terms of the returns. If you invest say Rs 2,00,000=00 and if the performance goes well which generally the ICICI Bank does it well, after a period or a gap of say seven months you would be really delighted to see  that you get a RETURN of about Rs Five lakhs at the most.

However since it is a SHARE kind of an investment the returns could also vary and be very low if the market is too weak or bad and in that case the returns would not be that good as expected.

The Most Important Element Which Keeps It Going ::

The MOST important thing that one has to visualize and understand is that one has to KEEP an ICEBERG kind of a MIND and believe on his FAITH and the FAITH of the BANKER as they are the one who work there in the field to keep the momentum UP-AND-GOING-HIGH and they generally keep the momentum high . That is there to be believed upon and to maintain the faith in oneself . THERE IS AN ELEMENT OF RISK INVOLVED and hence the FAITH in oneself is the ONLY solution .That is all.

ONE NEEDS TO BE VERY CONFIDENT IN HIMSELF AND READ THE MARKET BEFORE INVESTING .

How Can The Government Aid In Making This A Grand Success

 I have studied the same very meticulously and I suggest these points to be taken by the Government, the NSDL and the Bank so that the investor draws the money in the right and the appropriate time and again reinvests the money in the bank as well to give him and the Government a very good investment both for him and the Government ,  my suggestions are as follow-:


A ). Every time the money is deposited in the SIP schemes the intimation ought to be send to the investor in his e-mail and in his cell phone number by the Bank where he has deposited the amount and by the NSDAL in his address.

B ) . Every 15 days the NSDL should send a statement to the respective investor in their address of residence stating the actual position of the amount that has either grown up and fallen

C ). After the initial investment has doubled say a sum of Rs 1,00,000=00 invested doubles to Rs 2.00.000=00 then the notice should reach FAST to the investor both by the SMS, the e-mail and by the letter through the NSDL in that month itself so that the investor gets the information appropriately and properly to take away the money or to give his consent to reinvest the entire amount, or a part of the same as he may feel alike, according to his wish.

D ). If the investor wishes to draw his money once the initial investment has doubled, then a minimum period of 60 days may be given to him after he receives his intimation about the same from the letter of the NSDL so that he goes to  , or approaches , the  bank to present his letter of REDEEM of the same to the Bank where he has invested his amount.
A period of 60 days is necessary for the time of redemption and this ought to be made COMPULSORY by the Government ,  because at time the letter send by the NSDL is late by a month or even two months and also at times the people who have invested go out from their place on official duties etc to some other place for a short or a long term project, and he is not available at the correct moment to receive the information's to withdraw the amount in terms of redemption  .This crushes his attempt to get the money even if the circumstances are not within his limit .

E ) . It is necessary that the NSDL send a SMS to the investor on his phone number as well as a e-mail and then they shoot the letter very fast giving a 60 days of time from the date when the minitrial invested money is doubled so that the investor draws his money.

F ). In this investment say if an investor invest his money for say two years at the minimum and up to say four years as thr maximum then because of the money that the bank as well as the Government makes out of the same, the investor should be awarded a HOLDING TIME PERIOD BONUS of Rs15,000=00 if he had re-rolled the money for over TWO YEARS and Rs 25,000=00 if he has ROLLED the MONEY for more than FOUR years. That will be an added incentive for the investors

H ). A Income tax rebates ought to be passed on to the investor for this as well.I write this to address the Office of the Prime Minister and the Office of the Finance Minister for the same because there are PURPOSELY delay done by the NSDL to send the letters to the investor in time and this is a PLOY  at times, seen , between the  respective Bankers and the NSDL which is DETRIMENTAL in many a case for the investor because they find it very hard to withdraw the money for their own use.

It is also been observed by the investor that the bankers on many a time do not want to pass the amount invested when it doubles to the investors PURPOSEFULLY because the money saved in their bank and the total that is piled up helps them to get  BANKING BRANCH RATING POINTS, the  other points attached to these points etc for their performance and the  REARING performance related promotion.

This is DETRIMENTAL because the investor is KILLED by this means by the bank as well as the Government as the retired people and those who invest the money for the purpose of their  social obligation and it’s use, as well as for their own use like medical treatment etc gets jared and marred and there has been many case where the marriage of their one’s because of the shortage of the funds,  as well as the treatment medically has suffered

The Govt of the day has to be very serious for this directing the RBI, ie the RESERVE BANK OF INDIA , the SEBI ie  (The Securities and Exchange Board of India )  and the Chairman of the respective Banks stating that any complaint on this would be viewed and taken seriously.

In this matter it is MANDATORY at ONCE in TWO months the respective members of the Government headed by the Finance Minister, the Chairman of the SEBI and the Chairman of the RBI with some important FINANCIAL DIGNITARIES  all EXPERTS sit for an overall all-round assessment of the performance of the same and a clear information about the same may be collected by the Government and the info’s passed on to the public as that will RESTORE and keep the CONFIDENCE of the public HIGH as always.

Some of the private Banks like the ICICI, the HDFC, the HSCB, the Kerala bank, the ANZ Grindlay purposely play hese traunts  wherein they purposely hold the money even after the double or the treble redemption of the amount invested by the investors, only to add to their BANK-RATING-POINTS, and there  are many who have suffered on this account

I request the Government of the day the Honorable Prime Minister  and the Finance Minister to talk and shoot the letters to the Chairman of these Banks, on this matter and once in TWO months to hold an  review of the same as ascribed and suggested. . Regarding this matter of withdrawl of the money by REDEMPTION, it is mandatory for the Government to issues direction to the RBI  as well as to the SEBI, to direct the respective banks to give a time period of 60 days ie TWO MONTHS to redeem and withdraw the money from the bank from the back date from and wherein the money was doubled at the bank.

Lastly the Government has to completely TIGHTEN its grip by putting a NOOSE in the NSDL and the SEBI  for their inefficiency in shooting the letters to the investors at the appropriate time This is a MUST .

The Immediate Action That Ought To Be Taken FAST Now ::

A copy of this letter ought to be send to the     Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) in this regard and it ought to be send to the HIGHEST DIGNATARY of SEBI by the Finance Minister and it is also requested to the Finance Minister to kindly keep on checking the SEBI for bettering the performance of the SIP constantly along with the Chairman of the Banks under the scrutinty and action of the R.B.I. 

 

This actually is ONE-OF-THE-BEST-SCHEME for investment for a SHORT TIME period and it definitely acts as a “ SANJIVEENI ”  ie A-LIFE-PROVIDING MEDICINE to those who are SENIOR CITIZEN and who are passing off their days in a lot of difficulties.This really PROPS and TOPS the earning for those  who wish to GET MORE with a fixed but a small or a limited income .

A VERY GOOD PLAN OF INVESTMENT THAT IT IS .

However before going in for the KILL . always make sure about the kind of the investment and the types of the category  that are available, and what is their VIABILTY . Sit with the banker and know the entire details and then inch SURELY with confidence to open and invest in this system of investment which definitely adds many a value to the life as well as the DIME to the purse.

  1. The fun in this is that the S. I. P. itself is not self explanatory nor does the promoters take the effort to make it simple and easy to understand as you have done it. Kudos for your effort to deal with this subject. ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘
