Dear Sir,
My daughter is 8 yrs old i will invest an annual amt of Rs.43800 /- so when she turns around 23 – 24 yrs what amt of maturity i may get kindly reply in this regard

vittal
Hello Vittal, Since interest rate changes every year, one cannot know exact amount. However, we may check approx amount and then compute. e.g. if you invest 43,800 at beginning of 8 years to beginning of 23 years (both years inclusive i.e. 15 years) = 43,800 x 15 years = 6.57 lakhs. Interest on such investment that is compounded every year @ 7.6% (approx which can change every year) = 5.8 Lakhs. Total with interest the amount would be 12.4 Lakhs (Investment of 6.57 lakhs + interest of 5.8 lakhs)
Dear Sir,
