5 Years	7,34,140	8,11,036	8,73,421
10 Years	18,12,832	22,40,359	26,30,182
15 Years	33,97,785	47,59,314	61,63,656
20 Years	57,26,600	91,98,574	1,32,70,734

The longer the period of your investment, the more you accumulate, because of the power of compounding… which is why it makes sense to start investing early.
