According to Alam, Compounding / Compound Interest facilitates double benefit as you get interest on the amount invested.

Therefore, earning through investment and then investing this amount is compounding, which is helpful in increasing your investment, This is how you earn more money in less time through compounding, he added. 

Through compounding, your return is actually added to the investment, thereby increasing your returns year after year. Since this facilitates fast growth of your money, you can turn a SIP of Rs 5,000 into Rs 3 crore within 30 years of continuous investment, according to the Zee Business report.
