Power of Compounding: How fast your Rs 10,000 monthly investment grows in mutual fund SIP, NPS, PPF, and EPF schemes in 10, 20, and 30 years
Compound Interest/Growth: Mutual fund SIP investment, National Pension System (NPS), Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) and Public Provident Fund (PPF) are some of the schemes that offer compound interest or growth and where you can invest for 30 years or more.
Power of Compounding: Compound interest is interest on interest that grows your investment faster as it gets older. When you invest in a scheme offering compound interest or growth, your principal amount, along with interest, becomes your principal amount for the next compound interest cycle. For the next cycle, you get interest on the entire amount and not just on your initial investment. E.g., if you invest Rs 1 lakh in a scheme and get 8 per cent annual growth on that, your total amount at the end of the year will be Rs 1.08 lakh. For the next compound interest cycle, you will get 8 per cent interest on Rs 1.08 lakh and not on Rs 1 lakh. Mutual fund SIP investment, National Pension System (NPS), Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) and Public Provident Fund (PPF) are some of the schemes that offer compound interest or growth and where you can invest for 30 years or more. Learn how fast your money can grow in each scheme in 10, 20, and 30 years. For standardisation, we are taking a monthly investment of Rs 10,000, or Rs 120,000 a year.

Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) is also a retirement scheme, where the lock-in period is retirement age. The scheme at present offers 8.25 per cent compound interest. An employee contributes a part of their basic salary and dearness allowance. The employer matches that amount and contributes it to the employee's EPF account.
