With an average annual return of 15%, it takes 33 years—from age 25 to age 58—to build a fund of approximately 5 crore rupees through a monthly SIP of 4,500 rupees.

At a 12% annual return over 40 years from age 25 to 65, the total investment amount is 21,60,000 rupees, and the total amount received at maturity is 5,34,71,191 rupees.

Starting a disciplined SIP early allows compound interest to generate the vast majority of the final wealth, such as turning an 17.82 lakh rupee investment into nearly 5 crores over 33 years.
