NIFTY Bank Index, before 5 year eg on 23rd February 2017 was at 23877 and has appreciated to 38517 now on 11th February 2022. It has appreciated by 61% during the period of 5years. Compared to Nifty 100 Index, this Nifty bank index has given less returns due to huge NPAs suffered by banking companies during last 4 years. However now with reasonably clean balancesheets , the banking companies will not be required to make large provisions for NPAs and consequently, the profitability is expected to improve in the coming years. Now during next 4 years, We expect higher growth rate for Nifty Bank index,as compared to Nifty 100 index and expect this new scheme to provide impressive returns. … We recommend >>APPLY
