Chandigarh man finds grandfather’s forgotten SBI investments of Rs 500; know the surprising money he gets now

Chandigarh, April 2

A pediatric surgeon Tanmay Motiwala from Chandigarh stumbled upon a hidden treasure in his grandfather’s investments.

While organising the family’s assets, he found forgotten share certificates from the State Bank of India bought by his grandfather.

The doctor revealed that his grandfather had purchased SBI shares worth Rs 500 back in 1994. However, his grandfather had neither sold nor remembered the investment.

The initial investment has now multiplied into a significant sum of Rs 3.75 lakh, giving him 750x returns over the three decades.
