Post Office Scheme: If you want to earn money then investment is necessary. If you think that investment should be done only in large amounts and that is why you have not started investing yet, then this notion is wrong. Start investing whatever you can according to your income because only investment can grow your money. If you save money, it will be spent in some circumstances or the other.
There are many such schemes in the Indian Post Office in which you can start investing with less than Rs 500 and get good benefits.
