Direct or Regular for this scheme?
The Regular plan's expense ratio is 1.08% a year and the Direct plan's 0.35%, a gap of 0.73%; over the last 3 years the Direct plan returned 0.83 percentage points a year more. On a ₹25,000 monthly SIP for 20 years (illustration at 12% a year before costs) the gap adds up to about ₹18,49,851.
With the Regular plan, that cost pays a distributor to help you plan, choose and review funds, and stay invested when markets fall. Whether it is worth it depends on how much of that you will do yourself.
