Storing funds in a savings account may provide a sense of security, but it lacks effectiveness in fostering financial growth. Inactive money gradually loses value due to inflation, diminishing its purchasing power. To counteract this, consider exploring investment options that not only preserve your capital but also generate returns. Fixed Deposits stand out as a dependable choice in this regard. Opting for an FD not only secures your investment but also guarantees active and sustainable growth.
