Saving anything (money mostly) can be considered part of the Indian tradition that attributes to responsible and cultured living. The point wherein an individual earns his/her first salary and opens up a small savings account, the person is considered to be all 'grown-up' and many shades better than his/her careless, spendthrift and antisocial self from the teenage and late adolscent years. Why must you subscribe to saving schemes in India? Read on…

1. Readily Available- The Indian government, through both the public and private sector banking system, offers a multitude of saving schemes that are easy to enroll with and are perfectly suited for the strategic as well as casual investor. Their simplicity and abundance makes them a much preferred savings option.
2. Long Term Planning- Quite opposite to the run and burn concept, long term savings are focussed on a time in the future when abundant monies will be required to comply with an expected requirement. Retirement, marriage of a son/daughter, long awaited foreign trip, etc. demand strategic, long term financial planning.
3. Wide Ranges of Products- In India, saving schemes include a plethora of different products that are intended for a wide segment of potential customers. From the Public Provident Fund (employed- retirement fund) and Employee Provident Fund to Kissan Vikas Patra (Agriculturists) and Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (exclusively for the girl child), the choices are many and super specialised.
4. Simple to Enroll- Limited documentation, clearly defined procedures and the Indian Government's backing ensures that these saving schemes are simple to opt for and safe to be locked onto.
