What is the retirement step-up SIP rule?

The retirement step-up SIP rule suggests automatically increasing your monthly mutual fund contributions annually by a fixed percentage (e.g. 10%) to match salary increments. This dramatically boosts the compound future value of your portfolio over a 25-30 year horizon.
