• Beat Inflation

Year 2019 1 litre full Cream Milk =₹50.          Year 2020 1 litre full Cream Milk =₹52.

You see the difference in the price of the same items changed over a course of 1 year it\’s due to inflation. Generally, the inflation rate in the Indian Economy is 5%. So you would lose 4 to5% of our money every year if kept as cash. Returns from investing help you to maintain the purchasing power at a constant level. If you don’t beat the inflation rate you’d be losing money, not making money.

You see that if you had ₹100 bucks in 2010 the things that you can buy in 2021.
