Creating daily SIPs and managing them is cumbersome. More importantly, if your goal is to invest regularly, there is no difference in returns between a daily, weekly or monthly SIP. A better approach is to add up the amount you need to invest and create a weekly SIP instead. This makes it easier to track and manage multiple SIPs.
