The Great Indian Myth: The Online NSC Purchase
For a while there, the internet echoed with tales of triumphant online NSC purchases. Visions of lounging in pajamas, clicking a few buttons, and becoming a financial superhero danced in our heads.

Don't despair though, because where there's a will, there's a way (and probably a chai break or two).

Until then, remember, the traditional route isn't so bad either. Think of it as a mini-adventure, a chance to meet interesting people (the ever-patient bank teller, perhaps?), and a delightful break from the monotony of the digital world. Happy investing!
