SIP pause guidance from experts

SIPs should be paused only for genuine financial emergencies like job loss or medical expenses, not market volatility.

Varun Gupta of Groww Mutual Fund says temporary income loss or unforeseen cash-flow disruption are legitimate reasons to pause a SIP.

Aditya Mulki of Navi AMC advises that investing should not come at the cost of meeting essential obligations or maintaining an emergency cushion.

Manish Srivastava of Anand Rathi Wealth recommends resuming SIPs as soon as financial stability returns and maintaining a dedicated emergency fund.
