SIP for ₹25 lakh in 10 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 ₹25 lakh in 10 years?
About ₹11,159 a month at 12% a year. You invest ₹13.39 L in total and growth adds ₹11.61 L. At 10% the SIP rises to ₹12,410, and at 8% it is ₹13,791, so the return you assume changes the answer a lot.
Can I reach ₹25 lakh in 10 years with a SIP that rises every year?
Yes. A SIP that rises 10% a year can start at ₹7,648 a month rather than ₹11,159 and reaches the same ₹25 lakh at 12%. By year 10 you would be investing ₹18,033 a month, so it suits people whose income grows.
What does ₹25 lakh in 10 years mean in today's money?
With 6% yearly inflation, ₹25 lakh received after 10 years buys what ₹13.96 L buys today. To end up with ₹25 lakh of today's buying power you need ₹44.77 L in future rupees, which needs a SIP of about ₹19,984 a month.

What the numbers say about ₹25 lakh in 10 years
Of the ₹25 L, you contribute ₹13.39 L (54%) and compounding at 12% supplies ₹11.61 L (46%). Every rupee you put in ends up as about 1.87 rupees at the finish.
With a 10-year horizon, your own contributions stay larger than the growth throughout: at the end ₹13.39 L is yours and ₹11.61 L is growth. A short period leaves compounding little time to work, so the monthly amount does most of the lifting.
The final year adds about ₹2.61 L of growth on its own, 10.4% of the goal. Waiting one year to start means building the same ₹25 lakh in 9 years, which lifts the SIP from ₹11,159 to ₹13,253 (19% more); waiting three years takes it to ₹19,410.
If your pay rises, a SIP that increases 10% a year can start at ₹7,648 instead and finish at ₹18,033 a month in year 10. Should ₹25 lakh mean what it buys today, the figure must first grow by 6% a year to ₹44.77 L, and the SIP becomes ₹19,984. In today's rupees the ₹25 lakh you will actually receive is worth ₹13.96 L.
The calculation assumes a steady 12% every year. At 8% you would need ₹13,791 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.
