I am thinking to invest it in the share market so that it will provide a better return than shaving account.” Consultant, Well Mr. Joshi! Great idea. Following are some listed companies whose share price of March 2016 has been listed below. Wait for a while, I will check the consistency of their price and advice you to invest in a more consistent market.
Summary calculation
