    Hey guys,

    What are the best ways to save or invest the money in the right way in India?

    I should start start saving or investing something from now,as its necessary for my future and also for my Income Tax returns :D

    Well,I was thinking,

    • LIC Plans.
    • SBI MAGNUM Mutual Funds.
    • SBI Fixed Deposit.
    • HDFC Pension Plans.

    I dont have anymore knowledge in this. I just know these above good things,but im not sure,if they are the best or if they do have so glitches. :rolleyes:

    SO suggest me for the best!
    Got to save for my BMW also ...:cool:

    SBI Fixed Deposit is good IMO but now they also reduced interest rate from 10% to 8 % :(

    MF tax saver is also good in terms of long term. investment.

    DON.

    Investment in gold and real estate is also a good thing ;)

    First invest, wait for the price to go high, take money out and have fun :D
    Something like share market :rolleyes:

    anyhow, Best of luck for your plannings ;)

    FD in every Nationalised bank is safe, FYI other wise also there is an insurance cover up to Rupees One lakh in any bank.
    You must consider the market condition for the mutual fund investment.
    For investment in Gold there are many funds so for the real estate. (or you can buy any property as per the budget if you wish so)
    The idea is one must invest money in various options.
    Good luck.

    I was thinking of this REAL ESTATE trick,but it dint play good,as I always bought news when I saved some good money :D

    So FIXED DEPOSIT is a good one,I guess..

    But I fear to with private banks for long term plans lol.. Better to go with SBI always..
