I don't know whether you have heard about mutual fund schemes provided by the Asset Management Companies. They invest a part of your income in equity and the other part in debt and give you returns almost equal to 20-30%. I suggest you check out with a local agent about the mutual fund policies available in your area. They are also regulated by government and hence you will have that trust factor.
There is just one advisory though, that mutual fund policies are subject to market risks and you can also lose money if luck doesn't favor you.
