One of my father's close friends, a retiree had put 1 Cr in a scheme, where he was promised 12% FIXED interest every year. It was a Gold Company.
He got back:
Yr 1 - 12 Lakh
Yr 2 - 12 Lakh
Yr 3 - 12 Lakh
Seeing his success, his friends also invested few crores of life savings.
Yr 4 - 12 Lakh
Yr 5 - Company went bust
So, he got back 48 Lakh, but lost his principal. He lost his friends, their money. Psychologically, very taxing.
Learning:
- If anyone offers you more than FD returns (Fixed return above 7 to 8%), please take this with a pinch of salt.
- Most people invest their life savings in such schemes. Please note that, even in a bank, only upto 5 Lakh is insured and even that is not easy to recover, in case of a problem in the bank.
- There are many unregulated companies with such debt schemes. Some give 10%, some 12% etc. AVOID.
- Never put your life savings in such schemes. The RBI will not insure above a certain amount. Also, most of the cases, it gets written off.
- We are common man. The court case will probably get resolved, after we are gone.
- There is no free lunch. Take high interest, reward points, easy credit with lots of caution.
Return of Capital is more important than Return on Capital.
