Paytm in its press release said, "With this newly launched feature, all investors now have the option to start their SIPs by making the payment immediately or choosing to pay later.

In India, SIP is an easy step to negotiate and it also ensures discipline in your savings.  All you have to do is open an SIP account with a financial institution, and link it with your bank account. Depending upon your investment strategy, money will automatically get deducted from your bank account on weekly, monthly or quarterly basis. 

Considering there are intervals of investment like weekly, monthly or quarterly, you tend feel very little impact of market volatility. 

It is highly disciplined, passive and automated. Funds get deducted automatically from bank, which makes you more committed to guaranteed saving/investment. 

Investment amount in SIP starts as low as Rs 500 per month, which eliminates the burden of managing your overall expenses on monthly basis, as very little amount of money is deducted.
