    1. Hi Aditya, Since you are low risk taker, you can invest in debt funds or hybrid mutual funds. You can also look for post office saving schemes apart from bank FD’s

  2. Hi, Suresh,

    I want to invest 15-lacs in Duetsche Bank, what is your opinion, as it is a foreign bank, do you think any risk investing
    in foreign bank, please let me know asap…………..

    1. Syed, All banks are monitored by RBI, hence I don’t see any risk. However if you are still having doubt go for nationalised banks as there is no much difference in interest rates.
