SIP for ₹2 crore in 20 years at different returns
A higher return cuts the SIP you need, but it also raises the risk that the goal is missed; a rising SIP lowers the starting amount.

Questions about this scenario
How much SIP is needed to reach ₹2 crore in 20 years?
About ₹21,743 a month at 12% a year. You invest ₹52.18 L in total and growth adds ₹1.48 Cr. At 10% the SIP rises to ₹27,625, and at 8% it is ₹34,925, so the return you assume changes the answer a lot.
Can I reach ₹2 crore in 20 years with a SIP that rises every year?
Yes. A SIP that rises 10% a year can start at ₹10,735 a month rather than ₹21,743 and reaches the same ₹2 crore at 12%. By year 20 you would be investing ₹65,652 a month, so it suits people whose income grows.
What does ₹2 crore in 20 years mean in today's money?
With 6% yearly inflation, ₹2 crore received after 20 years buys what ₹62.36 L buys today. To end up with ₹2 crore of today's buying power you need ₹6.41 Cr in future rupees, which needs a SIP of about ₹69,731 a month.

What the numbers say about ₹2 crore in 20 years
Of the ₹2 Cr, you contribute ₹52.18 L (26%) and compounding at 12% supplies ₹1.48 Cr (74%). Every rupee you put in ends up as about 3.83 rupees at the finish.
Growth overtakes your own contributions in year 12, when the balance reaches ₹66.99 L against ₹31.31 L invested. At the halfway mark, year 10, you hold only ₹48.71 L, 24% of the goal, which is why the middle of a long SIP feels slow.
The final year adds about ₹21.3 L of growth on its own, 10.6% of the goal. Waiting one year to start means building the same ₹2 crore in 19 years, which lifts the SIP from ₹21,743 to ₹24,694 (14% more); waiting three years takes it to ₹32,048.
If your pay rises, a SIP that increases 10% a year can start at ₹10,735 instead and finish at ₹65,652 a month in year 20. Should ₹2 crore mean what it buys today, the figure must first grow by 6% a year to ₹6.41 Cr, and the SIP becomes ₹69,731. In today's rupees the ₹2 crore you will actually receive is worth ₹62.36 L.
The calculation assumes a steady 12% every year. At 8% you would need ₹34,925 a month instead, and equity returns are far from steady, so many people aim a little above the figure or add a safety margin as the date approaches.
