20 October 2013 If you are risk averse, then you could be better placed by investing in FD only. The current markets are too volatile for someone who wish to keep the risks at bay.

20 October 2013 Agree with Expert,
FD is always safer option to invest,
You can invest such amount in NSC or in KVP too...
