Dear Sir
Please provide more information on NSEL .I am a retired person from SBI and willing to invest my entire PF & GRATUITY amount in NSEL.
Is there any risk . May I get better return through NSEL .I am aged 65 yrs Please advise me how much I must invest in NSEL ?
SCPATHAK
Please don’t make this mistake.
NSEL is a platform where you can purchase Gold / Silver and other base metals in demat mode.This is a spot market.
There is a price based risk.
Yes…but this is great alternative for Physical Gold / Silver considering the storage issues.you can think to invest your partial money say 10%-20% in NSEL account and buy with any deeps.
For remaining money , think to invest in Fixed deposits of SBI only….as you are retired from SBI and should eligible for 1% more interest rate than other senior citizens.
Thank you.
