SIP vs SWP: Systematic Plans Explained

Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) vs. Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP)

1. What is SIP?

A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) allows investors to invest a fixed amount at regular intervals into a mutual fund scheme.

  • Encourages disciplined saving
  • Enables rupee-cost averaging
  • Ideal for long-term wealth creation
Example: Ravi invests ₹5,000 monthly into an equity mutual fund for 10 years using SIP. He accumulates wealth systematically despite market volatility.

2. What is SWP?

A Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) allows regular withdrawals from a mutual fund. Ideal for retirees or passive income seekers.

  • Generates regular cash flow
  • Provides tax efficiency
  • Capital remains invested and earns returns
Example: Meena invests ₹20 lakh in a debt mutual fund and starts an SWP of ₹15,000/month to support her retirement.

3. SIP vs SWP – Comparison

Feature SIP SWP
Purpose To build wealth To generate income
Flow Direction Money goes into fund Money withdrawn from fund
Ideal For Salaried, early investors Retirees, passive income seekers
Tax Treatment LTCG after 1 year on equity Tax based on holding period for each withdrawal
Flexibility Can pause, modify or stop Can change withdrawal amount and frequency

Which One to Choose?

SIP: Great for growing wealth gradually and meeting future goals like retirement or child’s education.
SWP: Perfect for enjoying the returns after retirement or for monthly income without breaking FD-like investments.
