The SIP versus lumpsum debate is really a question about your cashflow and your risk tolerance, not about which is inherently better.
When an SIP is the right choice
If your investment comes from monthly income, an SIP matches your cashflow and removes the need to time the market. Rupee-cost averaging smooths out volatility over 5 to 7 year cycles.
When a lumpsum makes sense
If you have received a bonus, sale proceeds or an inheritance, staying in cash while waiting for the perfect entry usually costs more than it saves. A staggered lumpsum over 3 to 6 months balances entry risk and time in the market.
