Direct or Regular for this scheme?

The Regular plan's expense ratio is 2.19% a year and the Direct plan's 1.52%, a gap of 0.67%; over the last 3 years the Direct plan returned 0.88 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 ₹14,65,350.

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.
