The mutual fund where you want to invest should have credibility and good track record of at least 3 years. The fund must have outperformed sensex.
Your selection is100% okay.
But I would suggest you to opt for "dividend reinvest". The dividend is tax free and reporting in returns is very easy. The aspect of income accrued is clear yearwise from income tax point of view. In Growth that too with SIP there will be some difficulty in working out capital gain figures. Though the capital gains are income tax free if investment remains more than 1 year but reporting of capital gains will force you to work out which investment group you have redeemed (FIFO will have to be followed up - no such encumbrances in dividend reinvest).
Another suggestion is you may consider to open SIP in ELSS of any of above mutual funds. ELSS are outperforming comparatively and the investment is eligible to get you deduction under section 80C.
In case you want more opinion please email me.
BEST OF LUCK
