Planning to invest in mutual funds? Here’s how you can install the Paytm Money app and grow your wealth

Earlier, investing in mutual funds used to be a complicated process with all the hassles of paper-based account opening. With its fully digital platform, the Paytm Money app has made it simple and convenient for everyone to start investing in mutual funds and grow their wealth. Now, you can open an investment account free of cost and earn up to 1% higher returns with direct plans, avoiding any commissions charged by banks or distributors. In addition to this, with just a few taps, you get to view updated mutual fund information, top-rated schemes, hand-picked investment ideas, and exclusive mutual fund recommendations for everyone to start investing.
 
Over time, Paytm Money has evolved into a comprehensive wealth management tool. Here, you can also save taxes with the help of ELSS Funds and build a retirement corpus through the National Pension System (NPS). Together, these two options offer you a combined tax-saving of up to Rs 62,400.  Also, you can start a SIP in your preferred mutual fund for as low as Rs. 100.
