What happens if there are insufficient funds on SIP date?

If your bank account doesn’t have enough funds on the SIP date, that instalment is skipped. The SIP itself is not cancelled; it continues from the next scheduled date as normal.

Samco does not charge a penalty for a missed instalment. However, your bank may levy a return or bounce charge for the failed auto-debit, depending on your bank’s policy.

If you know funds won’t be available on a particular date, it’s better to pause the SIP in advance from the app rather than letting the debit fail.
