Being a small investor, your best bet is to buy a mutual fund. It allows you a diversified portfolio of investments. Unfortunately, most have a minimum investment of RS 5000. There are some that have a lower minimum investment but I am not too aware of them. Here is one. RS 500 minimum investment.

Here is a site where you can do some research into mutual funds.

If you have a Rs 2000 investment (one-time) then you can simply put it into a mutual fund and watch it. Watch it weekly and see if you are comfortable with the fluctuations. If you are not, then pull out with gain or loss and you are done with the markets.

If you are comfortable with the fluctuations, then start putting your 'extra cash flow' from the income you earn (assumption) and put that amount on a monthly basis into the same fund. This is called a SIP. I am very big on recommending small investors to be in Indian Mutual Funds, and do SIP or DCA. This is a small investor game, and you can win by doing so.

All of the above is without knowing ANY FURTHER detailed info about you as an individual (profile, risk tolerance etc).

Good luck.

ps: I have picked the SBI Magnum, Reliance Growth and Sundaram funds as my top 3 for SIP investments. It is doing fairly well since I started getting into it (Sep'2006).

Well you can start with any amount you want....

But is it 2000 per month.... or 2000 per year.. or 2000 once in a lifetime.

All 3 are possible. And to be really true 2000 is a very small amount if you are thinking it on per year or once in a life basis.

Personally i suggest you to start with 10000 if it is a one time investment to get some decent return...

Normally 2000 rs is account opening charges in many firms.

I suggest you to open account in a small firm to reduce charges.

Any amount of money is possible for you to buy share. But remember there is a minimum charge for every transaction you made through purchasing and selling stocks. There is also minimum quantity for stock purchasing. For ex minimum quantity is 100 unit and the stocks price is $10 per unit so you need at least 100x10=$1000 before transaction cost.

Invest in IPOs of good companies
whose share value may increase.It is much better to invest in mutual funds. Share market some times is very volatile.You should purchase when shares fall down and sell them off when they pickup and repeat the process. you mayhave some gain.
