Hi Vignesh,
You asked about the investment options, whether to invest in shares or mutual funds. A mutual fund is nothing but investing in a group of shares from different industries managed by efficient fund managers or portfolio managers. Also, in shares, the risk is more, and the return is also higher. You have to study a lot to analyze the company before investing in it. In a mutual fund, your fund will not only be in shares; some part of it will be preserved in fixed income securities, resulting in low risk and moderate income.
Nowadays, the market is good, and your fund could double within three years. If you choose to invest in fixed deposits or post office savings, it may take 6 to 10 years to double your money. You can explore some LIC insurance options like Money Plus, Profit Plus, etc., which offer good earnings.
You can observe Warren Buffett: He made investments at the age of 11. "Investments are wealth."

Hi,
SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) is a much better option than Lumpsum Investment because when the market is down, you will get more units. Also, one can start SIP with Rs. 1000 per month.
In the case of Open-ended funds, the Entry Load is Nil, and the Exit load is 1-2% if you switch or redeem within a year. After 1 year, it is Nil.

You need to contact a mutual fund company to invest your money. Before investing, it is always recommended to have thorough knowledge of mutual funds and their distribution pattern. You can start a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) with as little as Rs 1000. Mutual fund investment involves the distribution of funds across varied industries.
