Let me tell you there is lot of difference between Share Market and Mutual Funds.
There are lot of Schemes out there to invest in , but if you choose the worst scheme in any scenario you will be able to get return of more than Fixed Deposit , which is quite good.

 If you are able to save lets say  Rs. 100 per day which means  Rs. 3000 per month you are end up getting   Rs. 8.4 Lakhs in next 10 years   and   If  you have more patience then after 5 more  years you will get  Rs. 20.3 Lakhs
