How this is calculated

A single lumpsum compounds annually at your chosen CAGR: value = amount × (1+rate)^years. Unlike SIP, timing matters enormously here — the entire amount is exposed to market returns from day one, so sequence-of-returns risk is higher.

Tax treatment

Equity investments held over 1 year qualify for LTCG, taxed at 12.5% above a ₹1.25L exemption per year (July 2024 rules); under 1 year is short-term, taxed at 20%. Debt/other funds are taxed at your slab regardless of holding period.

Questions
Lumpsum or SIP for ₹5 lakh?

A lumpsum invests everything at today's price, while a SIP spreads the same amount over time and reduces the impact of a bad entry point — compare both on the Compare Lab for your specific amount.
