Understanding Fixed Income Investments

Fixed income refers to investments that provide regular and predictable returns in the form of interest payments and principal repayment over a defined period. It is a low-risk, stable investment option, ideal for investors seeking capital protection, steady income, and portfolio diversification.

What Are Fixed Income Investments?

Government Bonds: Issued by Central/State Govts (e.g., RBI Bonds)

Corporate Bonds: Issued by companies to raise capital

Fixed Deposits (FDs): Bank/Company deposits with fixed interest

Public Provident Fund (PPF): Govt-backed with tax benefits under 80C

Debt Mutual Funds: Invest in bonds, treasury bills, etc.

RBI Floating Rate Bonds: 100% secure, interest resets every 6 months

Why Consider Fixed Income Investments?
