Assuming an annual return of 12%, you need to invest Rs 50,000 every month to create a corpus of Rs 5 crore in 20 years. As you can see, your investments are not enough to create the target corpus. You can either relook at your targets to come up with a realistic number. If you can increase your investments, you can go ahead with your investments.

Also, investing a small amount in a government-backed plan or insurance plan is not enough to create a corpus of Rs 50 lakh for your daughter. Assuming an annual return of 12%, you need to invest around Rs 8,600 every month to create a corpus of Rs 50 lakh in 16 years.
