A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) in mutual funds works more for you than an EMI. It's not just us; it's what the numbers say too!

Let’s assume you want to buy a house for Rs. 37.5 lakh. You’ll have to provide 20 per cent of the cost as down-payment. This works out to Rs. 7.5 lakh, and the remaining Rs. 30 lakh is taken as a home loan. Assuming a reasonable interest rate of 10 per cent and a loan tenure of 15 years, the EMI for this loan works out to Rs. 32,238. Then, you have registration costs of the property, which is an average of 20 per cent. Registration adds a further Rs. 7.5 lakh to the cost. The total of the loan payments over the 15-year period is actually Rs. 58 lakh. That brings the total cost of the house to a whopping Rs. 73 lakh (down-payment + loan + registration).

Now let’s see what happens if you commit this EMI amount to mutual funds through an SIP.

You will have to pay rent as you don’t have a house. A rent of Rs. 10,000 a month is a fair assumption for a house of Rs. 37 lakh. So that gives you Rs. 22,238 to invest in a good equity fund with a long-term track record. We assume that the increase in your rent will be taken care of by salary hikes. This apart, there is also the Rs. 7.5 lakh each for the down-payment and registration cost, both of which came from your savings. Let’s say you put that into a balanced fund for proper asset allocation. Let’s see how your money would have fared in both scenarios.
