The mutual fund emerged as a medium to mobilize the savings of the common public towards productive use. A mutual fund is a trust that mobilises the savings of several small investors who have a common financial goal. This paper aims to investigate valuable insights into how SIPs and mutual funds are perceived in developing regions like Motihari Bihar. The data from 250 respondents were collected using a structured questionnaire through a convenient sampling method and gathered data were analysed through SPSS 23 using statistical tools such as Chi-square test, ANOVA, and Correlation Test.
