While equity investors have witnessed muted returns in the last two years because of a volatile market, investors in small savings schemes have enjoyed stable returns of up to 8.2% within the same timeframe.
While major indices like the Nifty 100, Nifty Midcap 150 and Nifty Smallcap 250 have seen only modest returns, small savings options like the Senior Citizen Savings Scheme and Sukanya Samriddhi are providing steady return of 8.2% each.
