There are some mutual funds that have tax benefits under section 80C. If you do a SIP on these mutual funds then you will get the tax benefit. That’s the only relation. You can buy these funds lump sum also and that will get you the same tax benefit.

When you say buying more units when the price is low that’s actually at that point in time, but not forever – that’s exactly what you want to do. Buy low and sell high.

Warren Buffet wrote about this with an awesome example about how people will be happy if the price of hamburgers went down for 5 years, but not if stock prices went down for the next 5 years even if that gives them a great opportunity to buy stocks at a discount and keep that 20 or 30 years down the line!

Here is a post I wrote about it:

One benefit of SIP often cited is that you buy more units when price goes down and buy less units when price goes up! Is the benefit significant as you are investing a fixed amount each month?

what if I say that actually you are buying more units when a mutual fund is going downhill and are buyIng less when it starts performing better?
