If you invest wisely, your money can increase and provide you with good returns. Fixed deposits are one of the most profitable solutions that spring to mind, and they are popular due to their low risk factor. There are other more schemes that offer a high rate of return with solid and guaranteed returns. Post Office Saving Schemes are one such possibility.
