AMFI introduced the Chhoti SIP plan, a Rs 250 Systematic Investment Plan (SIP), with a view to bring mutual fund investments to the common man. The scheme has underscored the thrust on democratisation of mutual fund investment, mainly among first-time investors and so-called 'undeserved classes.' The development has followed a step forward to help widen the reach of SEBI to financial market participants by expanding retail involvement in financial markets. Munot said that by reducing entry barriers and encouraging financial literacy, AMFI hopes to create a more inclusive investment culture. This initiative, Tarun Yojana and MITRA, hopes to make mutual funds a viable investment option for each Indian.
