Compound Interest facilitates double benefit to an investor, as it fetches interest on the amount invested, says Fincart's founder and MD Tanveer Alam. The formula ensures that the investor gets interest on not only the principal amount but also on the interest. 

How to turn Rs 5,000 into into Rs 3 crore?

There is no doubt that compounding returns actually add to the investment manifold - year after year. 

The process involves turning to a  Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) of Rs 5,000 every month. When finally added up, this amount  turns into Rs 3 crore! The period taken? 30 years. 

But the important part is patience, which actually makes money grow. Anyone who is looking to accumulate a huge amount with small savings, he has to go for a long term investment. Now, this will help you gain more from the compounding money you are getting. 

Maximum profit will flow to the early birds - the earlier they start investing, the better its is, as it allows you to earn more in less time!
