They grow up fast. Start early for them.Child education planning with a goal-based SIP for each big cost.
Child education planning works best with a separate, goal-based SIP for each big cost, like school fees or a college degree. Start early, and give your money time to grow.
Who this is for
New parents
Your child’s college is 15 to 18 years away. That long runway lets even a small SIP grow.
Parents of school-going children
College is closer and the costs feel real. A focused SIP started now can still make a big difference.
Grandparents who want to help
Want to set money aside for a grandchild’s studies? We help you invest towards that goal.
How it works with us
Put a number on each goal
We list your child’s education goals and their timing, look at today’s cost, and allow for education costs that tend to rise faster than general prices.
Start a SIP for each goal
We help you choose funds based on the years left, and keep each goal separate so you always know where you stand. The goal planner shows the monthly amount.
Make it safer as the date nears
In the last few years before the goal, we help you move money gradually into safer funds, so a market fall at the wrong time hurts less.

Goal planner
A child’s education, a wedding, a house or a new shop: every goal costs more tomorrow than it does today. Enter today’s cost and the years you have to see the future cost and what you may need to invest. Results are estimates at rates you assume.
What we do for you
- Estimate future education costs with clear, stated assumptions
- Work out the monthly SIP needed for each goal
- Help you choose funds that match the years left for each goal
- Set up investments in your name, or in your child’s name with you as guardian
- Move money gradually to safer funds as each goal comes close
- Review progress with you every year and step up the SIP when you can
If something happens to the earning parent, the SIP stops but the fees don’t. A term life insurance plan can help make sure the money for your child’s education is still there.
How your money can move as the goal comes closer
| Years to the goal | What matters most | Where money usually sits |
|---|---|---|
| 10 or more years | Growth | Mostly equity funds |
| 3 to 10 years | Growth, with care | A mix of equity and debt funds |
| Last 2 to 3 years | Protecting the amount | Mostly debt or other low-risk funds |
| When fees are due | Cash on time | Low-risk funds you can withdraw from quickly |
An illustration only. The right mix depends on your goal, your timeline and your comfort with risk. Mutual fund returns are market-linked and not guaranteed.
