In how many years can Rs 6.5 lakh mutual fund lump sum investment generate over Rs 3,00,00,000 corpus?

A lump sum or one-time investment is one of the ways to invest in mutual funds. The other way is a systematic investment plan (SIP). Both methods have their own pros and cons. In a lump sum investment, investors invest a huge amount in one go and wait for their money to grow. While in SIP, they invest a small amount in mutual funds regularly. However, before investing, investors should decide on their goal. This can be for retirement, education, buying a car or house, or for any other purpose. 

Other than mutual fund investments, there are many ways to invest and grow your money. One traditional method is a fixed deposit (FD). This method is very popular among senior citizens as it provides a fixed interest on the investment. Because there is no other income source after retirement, they prefer to invest in safer schemes. Apart from FD, there are other post office investment schemes like Kisan Vikas Patra, Senior Citizen Savings Scheme (SCSS), Post Office Time Deposit (TD), National Savings Certificate (NSC), among others.
