In partnership with the State Bank of India (SBI), SBI Mutual Fund launched JanNivesh SIP, a systematic investment plan requiring a monthly contribution of just ₹250.
This initiative aims to:
- Promote financial inclusion across India
- Invite small and first-time investors from rural and urban areas to participate in the mutual fund market.
- Encourage underserved population segments to develop savings habits and build wealth through disciplined investing.
The launch of JanNivesh SIP aligns with SEBI’s vision outlined in its consultation paper as on January 22, 2025, which emphasised:
“To promote financial inclusion, encourage regular saving habits, and help new investors start investing in mutual funds — even with small amounts. This makes mutual funds more accessible and affordable for everyone.”
“To meet this goal, SEBI, along with the Mutual Fund industry, has introduced a small-ticket SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) starting at just ₹250. All SEBI-regulated intermediaries who support mutual funds with services and infrastructure have agreed to take part in this effort to make the product practical and long-lasting.”
SBI Mutual Fund is taking a step forward in making SEBI’s vision a reality!
