Safe option to invest as of now, apart from FDs.

Play equities in the stock market

SIPs
- Index funds (since they are down)
- Manufacturing/capex focused companies should be good play (electrical and derived cos, capex is consistent with last year; gov. Is consolidating and trying to keep consistency as per budget)
- pharma/tech
- emerging small cap from a reputed fund house: canara robeco, dsp, motilal oswal, hdfc are generally ok.
- avoid high exp. ratios, and go for direct+growth fund.
- two large cap blue chips funds
Over a two year period, barring extreme events, this should give you minimum of FD level returns if you deploy a good sum right now(given corrections and drawdown scenario), with lot of upside if you are smart and consistent on it.

Thank you so much for taking your time. I really appreciate it βΊοΈ
