As you approach retirement age, it becomes critical to plan for a financially secure future. As there is no income source for senior citizens, they want to invest in schemes that can give them consistent income but also security and stability. In mutual funds, you can invest regularly or can also do a lump sum (one-time) investment) for your retirement. Through compounding, you earn interest on interest and can grow your investment multiple times.
