Child actions are not allowed to perform redirect actions. partial view

Question

I'm using ASP .NET MVC 5
I'm trying to use Create view with the index view to show the created item in the same page. For that I'm using _CreateCategory as the partial view and I added following to the index view
{Html.RenderAction("Create", Model);}
My controller's get and post methods as follows for the Create
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Create()
return PartialView("_CreateCategory",new Inventory.Models.Category());
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Create([Bind(Include="Id,Description")] Category category)
if (ModelState.IsValid)
db.Categories.Add(category);
db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction( "Index");
return PartialView(category);
}My index method as follows
public ActionResult Index()
return View(db.Categories.ToList());
I didn't do any changes to the partial view. I'm getting error "
child actions are not allowed to perform redirect action
. I tried many ways to overcome this. But no luck yet.
