How much Amount to Invest?
There is no fixed rule as such which says the minimum amount to invest. Ideally if you are able to start with 100K also it would be good but there are small investors who cannot afford that. If you have even 25K or 10K you can start investing but remember that the returns will not be significant.
If you invest 100K and if you make 20% profit then you get 20,000 Rs where as for 10K investment the return is only 2000 Rs. However you can start with 25K and then slowly increase the amount.
