“So, you've decided to start your journey towards financial freedom. Great choice! Zerodha Coin is one of the easiest ways to invest in direct mutual funds. Let's walk through exactly how to set up your first SIP without any confusion.”
Before You Start
Make sure your Zerodha account is active and you have the 'Coin' app installed on your phone. You'll also need a bank account linked—if you've used Kite for stocks, you're already halfway there!
Step 1: Find Your Fund
Open the Coin app and use the search bar. Look for terms like 'Nifty 50' or 'Flexi Cap'. Click on the fund that interests you to see its past performance and details.
Step 2: Choose 'SIP'
Once on the fund page, you'll see a button that says 'SIP'. Click it. Enter the amount you want to invest (even ₹500 works!) and pick a date. Pro tip: Pick a date right after your salary hits.
Step 3: Setup the Mandate (Crucial!)
An SIP is useless if the money doesn't move from your bank. You need to authorize an 'e-mandate'. This gives your bank permission to send the money automatically every month. Don't skip this!
