after 3 years 2 lakhs will be doubled @24% rate >>4 lakhs
4 lakhs will be double in next 3 years @24% rate it will be 8 lakhs.
8 lakhs will be 16 lakhs in next 3 years.
16 lakhs will be 32 lakhs and 32 to 64 to 1.28 lakh this is the power of compounding. so seeding early gets the most benefit of compounding.
