SIP for ₹2 crore in 30 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 30 years?
About ₹6,491 a month at 12% a year. You invest ₹23.37 L in total and growth adds ₹1.77 Cr. At 10% the SIP rises to ₹9,619, and at 8% it is ₹14,108, so the return you assume changes the answer a lot.
Can I reach ₹2 crore in 30 years with a SIP that rises every year?
Yes. A SIP that rises 10% a year can start at ₹2,504 a month rather than ₹6,491 and reaches the same ₹2 crore at 12%. By year 30 you would be investing ₹39,728 a month, so it suits people whose income grows.
What does ₹2 crore in 30 years mean in today's money?
With 6% yearly inflation, ₹2 crore received after 30 years buys what ₹34.82 L buys today. To end up with ₹2 crore of today's buying power you need ₹11.49 Cr in future rupees, which needs a SIP of about ₹37,284 a month.

What the numbers say about ₹2 crore in 30 years
Of the ₹2 Cr, you contribute ₹23.37 L (12%) and compounding at 12% supplies ₹1.77 Cr (88%). Every rupee you put in ends up as about 8.56 rupees at the finish.
Growth overtakes your own contributions in year 12, when the balance reaches ₹20 L against ₹9.35 L invested. At the halfway mark, year 15, you hold only ₹30.89 L, 15% of the goal, which is why the middle of a long SIP feels slow.
The final year adds about ₹21.39 L of growth on its own, 10.7% of the goal. Waiting one year to start means building the same ₹2 crore in 29 years, which lifts the SIP from ₹6,491 to ₹7,301 (12% more); waiting three years takes it to ₹9,249.
If your pay rises, a SIP that increases 10% a year can start at ₹2,504 instead and finish at ₹39,728 a month in year 30. Should ₹2 crore mean what it buys today, the figure must first grow by 6% a year to ₹11.49 Cr, and the SIP becomes ₹37,284. In today's rupees the ₹2 crore you will actually receive is worth ₹34.82 L.
The calculation assumes a steady 12% every year. At 8% you would need ₹14,108 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.
