INTRODUCTION TO MUTUAL FUNDS
Introduction to mutual funds
For decades, the middle class had an ideological bias against having too much
wealth. Money was seen only as a means for meeting basic needs. The risk and
low returns provided by other investment schemes accompanied by high
inflation and decreasing interest rates gave birth to Mutual Funds.
Meaning of Mutual Funds
A mutual Fund is an investment vehicle for investors who pool their savings
for investing in diversified portfolio of securities with the aim of attractive yields
and appreciation in their value. A mutual fund is a trust that pools together the
savings of a number of investors who share a common financial goal.
As per Mutual Fund Book, published by Investment Company Institute of U.S.,
A Mutual Fund is a financial service organization that received money from
shareholders, invests it, earns returns on it, attempts to make it grow and agrees
to pay the shareholders cash on demand for the current value of his investment.

Securities and Exchange Board of India (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996
defines Mutual Funds as a fund established in the form of a trust to raise
monies through the sale of units to the public or section the public under one or
more schemes for investing in securities, including money market instruments.
So, a mutual fund is a special type of institution, a trust or an investment
company which acts as an investment intermediary and channelizes the savings
or large number of people to the corporate securities in such a way that investors
get steady returns, capital appreciation and a low risk.
Pooling is the key to mutual fund investing. Through pooling the financial
resources of thousand of investors, each with a different amount to invest,
investors gain access to the expertise of the qualified and experienced fund
managers, wide diversification of ownership in securities market and a variety of
services, otherwise available only to institutions. Through diversification in
portfolio, mutual funds spread out inherent risks in securities and can earn a
more stable return. Individuals are free from the time consuming mechanics
involved in the direct purchase of securities in their portfolio. Professional fund
managers take pool of money and invest in a variety of securities selected from a
broad range of industries. They select securities that best meet their funds
investment objectives. They make decision when to buy, when to sell and when
to hold based on their extensive research and experience. The investment
objective set forth by the fund is important both to managers and investors.
These objectives guide the manager to plan the portfolio of the schemes. On the
other hand investors are guided by these objectives to select most suitable
scheme. A scheme is most suitable whose objectives are compatible to investors
targets. The concepts is explained in Fig. 1

CLASSIFICATION OF MUTUAL FUNDS
There are various types of Mutual Funds. Broadly, they can be classified
A) According to Scheme of Operation
B) According to Portfolio
C) According to Location
D) Other Types
ACCORDING TO SCHEME OF OPERATION: According to scheme
of Operation, Mutual Funds can be classified as:
1) Open-Ended Funds: Open Ended Funded means a scheme of mutual funds
which
-

25/84
offers unit of ale without specifying any duration for redemption. These schemes
do
not have a fixed maturity and entry to the funds is always open to investors
having an
option to get their holdings redeemed at any time. The repurchase rates are based
upon
the Net Asses Value (NAV) of the fund. The open-ended funds provide better
liquidity to the investor. These days open ended schemes are more popular.
2) Close-Ended Funds: A close ended fund means any scheme of mutual fund
in which the period of maturity of the scheme is specified . The corpus of the
close-ended scheme is fixed and an investor can subscribe directly to the scheme
only at the time of initial issue. These schemes are listed at the secondary market
i.e. stock exchanges. The price in the secondary market is determined on the
bases of demand & supply.
3) Interval Funds: scheme is a scheme of mutual funds which is kept open for
specific interval and after that it operates as close scheme. Thus it combines the
features of both ended & close-ended funds. The scheme is open for sale orrepurchase at fixed predetermined interval, which are disclosed in the offer
document. The units of the scheme are also traded in the stock exchange.
ACCORING TO PORTFOLIO: Mutual Fund can also be classified
according to

companies. Equity funds may have further sub-divisions such as income fund &
growth fund.
2) Debt Funds: These funds employee their resources in bonds. These
investments ensure fixed and regular income. Come times bonds are available in
the market at lower than the face value, the net income on these bonds goes
higher because interest will be received on the face value of the bond.
3) Balanced Funds: Balanced funds spend both on common stock and preferred
stock. Some part of the funds is pent on buying equity which other part is used in
acquiring interest bearing debentures and preference shares ensuring certain

while the other half is pent on preferred stock. Balanced Funds ensure both
appreciation in stock as well as regular return in the shape of interest &
dividend. The investors have advantages of regular income and appreciation in
value of securities. These funds are also known as Conservative Funds or
Income & Growth Funds.
4) Sectoral Funds: These funds invest in a particular type of securities. The
funds may specialize in securities of companies dealing in a particular product or
firms in a particular industry. Any investor wanting to invest in a particular
security will prefer a fund dealing in such securities. These funds are amore
risky.

appreciation. These funds may use even borrowed funds for buying speculative
stocks which ensures a profit in the future/.the cost of raising loaned funds and

activities to earn more and more profits.
6) Taxation Funds: Mutual Funds may be designed to suit the taxpayers. The
contributors to such funds get some concession in income tax. These schemes
are also known as Equity linked Saving Schemes (ELSS). The investors are

These
are:
1) No assured returns and no protection of capital: Mutual funds do not
offer assured returns and carry risk. For instance, unlike bank deposits,
investment in a mutual fund can fall in value. In addition, mutual funds are not
insured or guaranteed by any government body.

2) Restrictive Gains: Diversification helps, if risk minimization is objective.
However, the lack of investment focus also means you gain less than if you had
invested directly in a single security.
For example, say, Reliance appreciated 50 percent. A direct investment in the stock
would appreciate by 50 percent, But your investment in the mutual fund, which had
invested 10 percent of its corpus in Reliance, will see only a 5 per cent appreciation.
History of Mutual Funds
Although the Massachussets Investors Trust, formed on 21 March 1924 by three
Boston financial executives, is recognized as the first mutual fund, the ideas of
pooling money for investment purposes is not a twentieth century phenomenon. By
various historical accounts, investment entities that resembled what we know as
mutual funds had been around in Europe since the eighteenth century.
In 1774, a Dutch merchant invited subscriptions from investors to set up aninvestment trust by the name of Eendragt Maakt Magt (translated) into English, it
means Unity creates Strength, with the objective of diversification at low cost to
investors. Its success caught on, and more investment trusts were launched, with
verbose and quicky names that, when translated, read, Profitable and Prudent or
Small Matters Grow by Consent. The formal origin of Mutual Funds can be traced
to Belgium where Society Generale de Belgique was established in 1822 as an
investment company to finance investment in national industries with high
associated risks. The Foreign and Colonial government Trust, formed in London in
1868, promised the investor of modest means and same advantages as the large
capitalists by spreading the investment over a number of stocks.

The Birth of the Massachusetts Investors Trust in the U.S., in 1924, started a chain
of events that would bring mutual funds to American homes for good. There was an
initial euphoria among American investors over a new investment vehicle, but much
of this died with the onset of the Great Depression in 1929. It took a series of
confidence building measures the birth of a powerful market regulator, laying
down of rules for all industry participants, enactment of legislation for the mutual
fund juggernaut to start rolling again More and more financial entities got into the
act, The schemes and total assets keeps on increasing from year to year.

OPEN-ENDED MUTUAL FUNDS
An open-ended mutual fund is the one whose units can be freely sold and
repurchased by the investors. Such funds are not listed on bourses since the AssetManagement Companies (AMCs) provide the facility for buyback of units form
unit-holders either at the NAV, or NAV-linked prices. Open Ended Mutual Funds
are of many types and the returns form them are also different: The major types
being:
1. Equity Diversified Funds
2. Equity Sectoral Funds
3. Equity Tax Relief Funds (ELSS)
4. Balanced Funds
5. Monthly Income Plans
6. Gilt Funds
7. Debt Funds
8. Fund of Funds
Open-ended mutual funds are indeed suitable for an appreciation in investment.
Choice of mutual funds can vary depending on ones appetite to take risks e.g.
person who can take risk can go for equity funds while who dont take risks goes for
debt fund. For Open-ended mutual fund, we can go by saying higher the risk,
higher the return. There is no guarantee of returns as NAV of mutual funds depends
on market. Therefore, it is stated that Mutual Funds are subject to market risk. Fig
2 shows risk and return relationship of various mutual funds. There is a directrelationship between risk and return i.e. schemes with higher risk also have potential
to provide higher returns.

RETURN
Fig.2
Returns given by various mutual funds schemes are shown in annexure 2.
LIQUIDITY: Instant Liquidity is the USP of open ended funds. Units of open-
ended mutual funds can be redeemed on weekdays (Monday-Friday) at NAV or at
NAV plus a small exit load. There is a concept of Contingent Deferred SalesCharge where the exit load is charged only if the redemption takes place before a
specified time period or above a specified amount. A majority of open-ended mutual
funds allow switching among the various funds of the same AMC without any load.
You generally get your redemption requests processed promptly, and received the
cheque in 3-4 days. However, in case of Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS)
there is a lock in period of three years.
INFLATION PROTECTION: - Open ended Mutual Funds provide a fair
amount of protection against inflation. But funds with an equity portfolio provide
better protection than debt funds because equities, over the long term, provide the
-
8/7/2019 SVIET DEEPAK SHAREKHAN
38/84
best means of beating inflation. Moreover, long-term capital gains are taxed after
indexing for inflation.
OPTION OF BORROWING: - There are some banks that offer loans against
mutual funds. Different banks have their own criteria on which they approve the
loans.
TAX BENEFITS:- Divided paid by mutual funds is fully tax-exempt at the
hands of the investors, although, debt funds have to pay a 12.5 per cent dividend
distribution tax. On redemption of an unit held for more than a year, realization will
attract long-term capital gains tax of 20 percent plus surcharge after indexing for
inflation, or at a flat rate of 10 percent. If redeemed before a year it will be termed as
short term capital gain and taxed along with your other income. However, one can
cave tax by investing in Equity-Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS) under Section 88 of
the Income Tax Act, 1961, according to which 20 per cent of the amount invested in
ELSS can be deducted from tax liability subject to a maximum investment of Rs.
10,000 per year.
CLOSE ENDED MUTUAL FUND
Closed-ended mutual funds have a fixed umber of units, and a fixed tenure (3, 5, 10
or 15 years), after which their units are redeemed or they are made open-ended.These funds have various objectives: generating steady income by investing in debt
instruments, capital appreciation by investing in equities, or both by making an
equal allocation of the corpus in debt and equity instruments.
-
8/7/2019 SVIET DEEPAK SHAREKHAN
39/84
Since units of closed-ended funds rise and fall in the market like any other stock,
they are well suited for an increase in your investment. How ever, a mutual fund is
more influenced by the value of its own portfolio than any other factor. Units of an
equity fund are more frequently traded than a debt fund. Also, the NAV of an equity
fund rises and falls at a much faster pace. One the other hand, equity provided
healthy appreciation in NAV in the long term. Closed-ended debt funds, with their
conservative investment approach are best suited for income. These funds declare
dividend annually or semi-annually.
One cannot be completely sure of getting your full investment back. Depending on
their investment objective and under laying portfolio, closed-ended funds can be
very volatile or be fairly stable. Hence, principal is not assured.
LIQUIDITY: The Indian stock markets lack depth and, thus, the closed-ended
mutual funds are illiquid where they are listed and trade with heavy discount to their
NAVs. Besides listing, some mutual funds also offer repurchase option in there
closed-ended funds at an NAV-linked price after a certain lock-in period.
INFLATION PROTECTION: with stocks being better than bonds in
providing returns on a long term basis, an equity closed-ended fund is better
equipped to guard investment against inflation in the long run.
OPTION OF BORROWING: Closed end funds are treated as shares for the
purpose of raising loans in which the market value of the fund is considered.
However, there are few listed closed-ended fund that may be acceptable by banks.
TAX IMPLICATIONS: While divided paid on open-ended mutual funds is
fully tax-exempt, on redemption or sale of units, realization will attract long-term
-
8/7/2019 SVIET DEEPAK SHAREKHAN
40/84
capital gains tax of 20-per cent plus surcharge after indexing for inflation, or at a
flat rate of 10 per cent . However, you can save tax by investing in Equity-Linked
Savings Scheme (ELSS) under Section 88 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, according
to which 20 percent of the amount invested in ELSS-which have a lock-in period of
3 years-can be deducted from your tax liability subject to a maximum investment of
Rs 10,000 per year.
SHARES
Shares, also called scrips, are the basic building blocks of a company. A companys
ownership is determined on the basis of its shareholding,. Shares are, by far, the
most glamorous investment option for the simple reason that, over the long term,
they offer the highest returns. Predictably, theyre also the riskiest investment
option.
Shares are meant to be long-term investments. Three golden rules for investment in
equity- Diversity, Average out & most importantly stay invested. Shares do generate
income form dividend as well as capital appreciation and have a strong potential to
increase value of investment. But shares are risky share prices are affected by
factors beyond anyones control and hence one needs to have an appetite for that
kind of risk.
LIQUIDITY: Shares are the most liquid financial instruments as long as there is
a buyer for shares on the stock exchange. Most shares belonging to the A Group on
the BSE are among the most liquid. However, shares of some companies may notwitness any trading for many days altogether. In such a case, you will not be able to
sell your shares. So, the liquidity factor varies to a large extent.
-
8/7/2019 SVIET DEEPAK SHAREKHAN
41/84
INFLATION PROTECTION: Shares do provide for some protection
although share prices have no relation to inflation. The price may crash or rise far
beyond the inflation rate.
OPTION OF BORROWING: You can pledge shares with a bank for raising a
loan. The banks have their list of approved shares that they accept as a security.
Generally, shares of well known and respectable companies are accepted a security.
TAX IMPLICATION: While dividend is not taxable at the hands of the
investor, capital gains are. When your sell your shares at a profit, it attracts a capital
gains tax. Gains realised within one year of purchase of shares come under the short-
term capital gains tax, and are included in gross taxable income. If the duration is
more than one year, it attracts long-term capital gains tax. The rate is 20 per cent
with indexation benefit, or a flat 10 percent. However, capital gains tax can be saved
if the gains are invested in an IPO of a company with a lock-in period of 1 year.
Alternatively, they can also be invested in capital gains bonds of the NHAI,
NABARD, or Rural Electrification Corporation (REC). However, listed shares
acquired after March 1, 2003, will not be subject to long-term capital gains tax.
BANK FIXED DEPOSITS
When you deposit a certain sum in a bank with a fixed rate of interest and a
specified time period, it is called a Bank Fixed Deposit (FD). At maturity, you are
entitled to receive the principle amount as well as the interest earned at the pre-
specified rate during that period. The rate of interest for Bank Fixed Deposits varies
between 4 and 6 per cent, depending on the maturity period of the FD and the
amount invested. The interest can be calculated monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or
annually, and varies form bank to bank. They are one the most common savings
-

avenue, and account for a substantial portion of an average investors savings. The
facilities vary form bank to bank. Some services offered are withdrawal through
cheques on maturity, break deposit through premature withdrawal, and overdraft
facility etc. Fig 2.1 shows the return on FDs

Fig.2.1
While a Bank FD does provide for an increase in your initial investment, it may be
at a lower rate than other comparable fixed-return instruments. Since capital
appreciation in any investment option depending on the safety of that option, and
banks being among the safest avenues, the increase in investment is modest.
Bank Deposits are the safest investment option after post-office schemes since the
banks function according to the parameters set by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI),
which frames regulations keeping in mind the interest of the investors.
LIQUIDITY: Bank FDs are liquid to the extent that premature withdrawal of a
bank FD is allowed. However, that involves a loss of interest.
-
8/7/2019 SVIET DEEPAK SHAREKHAN
43/84
INFLATION PROTECTION: With a fixed return, which is lower than other
assured return options, banks cannot guard against inflation. In fact, this is the main
problem with Bank FDs as any return has to be calculated keeping inflation in mind.
OPTION OF BORROWING: Yes, in some cases, loans upto 90 per cent of
the deposit amount can be taken form the bank against fixed deposit receipts.
TAX IMPLICATIONS: Interest income form a Bank FD qualifies for
exemption under section 80L, which means that interest income upto Rs. 12,000 is
tax- exempt.
BONDS
Bond is a loan given by the buyers to the issuer of the instrument. Bonds can be
issued by companies, financial institutions, or even the government. Over and above
the scheduled interest payments as and when applicable, the holder of a bond is
entitled to received the par value of the instrument at the specified maturity date.
Bonds can be broadly classified into
(a) Tax-Saving Bonds
(b) Regular Income Bonds
Tax-Savings Bonds offer tax exemption up to a specified amount of investment.
Examples are:
a) ICICI Infrastructure Bonds under Section 88 of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
b) NAABARD/ NHAI/ REC Bonds under Section 54EC of Income Tax Act, 1961.
c) RBI Tax Relief Bonds
-
8/7/2019 SVIET DEEPAK SHAREKHAN
44/84
Bonds are usually not suitable for an increase in your investment. However, in the
rare situation where an investor buys bonds at a lower price just before a decline in
interest rates, the resultant drop in rates leads to an increase in the price of the bond,
hereby facilitating an increase in your investment. This is called capital appreciation.
There is low risk involved in bonds.
LIQUIDITY: Investors can subscribe to primary issues of Corporates and
Financial Institutions (FIs). It is common practice for FIs and corporates to raise
funds for asset financing or capital expenditure through primary bond issues. Some
bonds are also available in the secondary market. The duration of a bond issue
usually varies between 5 and 7 years. If the bond is listed, it can be sold in the
secondary debt market.
Selling in the debt market is an obvious option. Some issues also offer what is
known as Put and Call option. Under the Put option, the investor has the option to
approach the issuing entity, after a specified period (say, three years), and sell back
the bond to the issuer. In the Call option, the company has the right to recall its debt
obligation after a particular time frame. For instance, a company issues a bond at an
interest rate of 12 per cent . After 2 years, it finds it can raise the same amount at 10per cent. The company can now exercise the Call option and recall its debt
obligation provided it has declared so in the offer document. Similarly, an investor
can exercise his Put option if interest rates have moved up and there are better
options available in the market.
INFLATION PROTECTION: This depends on the rate of inflation. In times
of falling inflation, the real rate of return remains high, but bonds do not offer any
protection if prices are rising. This is because they offer a pre-determined rate of
interest.
-
8/7/2019 SVIET DEEPAK SHAREKHAN
45/84
OPTION OF BORROWING: One can borrow against bonds by pledging the
same with a bank. However, borrowings depend on the credit rating of the
instrument. For instance, it is easier to borrow against government bonds than
against bonds issued by a company with a low credit rating.
TAX IMPLICATIONS: There are specific tax saving bonds in the market that
offer various concessions and tax-breaks. Tax free bonds offer tax relief under
Section 88 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Interest income form bonds, upto a limit of
Rs. 12000, are exempt under section 80 L of the Income tax Act, plus Rs. 3,000
exclusively for interest from government securities. However, if you sell bonds in
the secondary market, any capital appreciation is subject to the Capital Gains Tax.
PUBLIC PROVIDEND FUND
A public Providend Fund (PPF) is a long-term savings plan with powerful tax
benefits. Your money grows @ 8 per cent per annum, and this is guaranteed by the
Government of India (GOI). You may consider this option if you are not looking for
short-term liquidity or regular income. Normal maturity period is 15 years from theclose of the financial year in which the initial subscription was made.
A PPF account is not aimed at generating capital appreciation since it has no
secondary market. It is mainly suitable for long-term saving and for availing of tax
incentives. This lump-sum amount that you received on maturity ( at the end of 15
year) is completely tax- free. The PPF Scheme has the backing of the GOI, and is
considered completely risk-free. Since the PPF Scheme is backed by the GOI, Your
interest income is assured.
You can safety put your money in a PPF Scheme as it is risk-free. Although factors
like inflation and interest rate fluctuations may determine whether you opt for a PPF
-
8/7/2019 SVIET DEEPAK SHAREKHAN
46/84
Account or not, the decision to invest in a PPF account is based on the twin benefits
of long-term savings and tax incentives. But if the interest rates will be applicable to
your account.
Subsequent interest calculations will be on the new rate of interest.
LIQUIDITY: PPF certainly lacks liquidity. The duration of a PPF account is
15 years, i.e., 15 complete financial years. On expiry or five financial years form the
end of the financial year in which the initial subscription was made, you have the
facility of one withdrawal every year. The maximum amount available for
withdrawal is 50 per cent of the balance at the end of the year immediately
preceding the year of withdrawal or the fourth year immediately preceding the year
of withdrawal, whichever is lower. For instance, if you have Rs. 50,000 at the end of
the fifth financial year, and Rs. 90,000 at the end of the eighth financial year, you
can withdraw upto Rs. 25,000 (50 per cent of Rs. 50,000). Importantly, there are no
penalties for availing of the withdrawal facility.
INFLATION PROTECTION: A PPF account does not provide protection
against high inflation. In certain years when the inflation rate is high, the real rate of
return on your PPF may be marginal. This depends on the prevailing rate of interest
on your PPF at any given time. These rate are notified by the GOI in the Official
Gazette form time to time, and are calculated in such manner as in specified in the
scheme.
OPTION OR BORROWING: Loans can be availed of form the third to sixth
year @ 1 per cent per annum if repaid within 36 months. Else, interest on loan is et
at 6 per cent per annum. Amount of such loans will not exceed 25 per cent of theamount that stood to your credit at the end of the second year immediately preceding
the year in which the loan is applied for. You will continue to earn interest at the
specified rate on your balance in the PPF Account after availing of the loan facility.
-
8/7/2019 SVIET DEEPAK SHAREKHAN
47/84
TAX IMPLICATIONS: besides long-term savings, the most attractive feature
PPF is the tax incentives it offers. The interest income earned in PPF and the lump-
sum amount received on maturity or premature withdrawal is completely tax-free as
per the pro-visions of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The scheme also offers tax benefits
under Section 88 of the Income tax Act, 1961 as indicated below:
Gross Total Income (Rs) Rebate
0 150,000 20%
150,001 500,000 15%
500,001 & Above Nil
Rebate is calculated @ 30 per cent if your gross annual salary is upto Rs 1,00,000.
This also helps to reduce the actual amount invested over a 15-year period. You can
also open an account in the name of your spouse or children including married
daughters and claim the tax rebate if the contribution is made out of your personal
taxable income.
NATIONAL SAVING CERTIFICATES
National Savings Certificates (NSC) are an assured return scheme, armed with
powerful tax rebates under Section 88 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Interest is
payable at 8 per cent, compounded half-yearly for a duration of 6 years. NSC
combines growth in money with reductions in tax liability as per the provisions of
the Income Tax Act, 1961. The scheme offers a coupon of 8 per cent, compounded
semi-annually. So, Rs 1,000 invested in NSCs become Rs. 1,601 on maturity after 6years.
The NSC has the backing of the Government of India. Since the NSC has the
backing of the Government of India, your income at the prescribed rate of interest is
-
8/7/2019 SVIET DEEPAK SHAREKHAN
48/84
assured. This is a safe long-term savings option. There are no risks associated with
your investment in the NSC.
LIQUIDITY: The maturity period (duration) of a NSC scheme is 6 years. NSCs
do not offer any scope of premature withdrawal except on death or forfeiture by
pledgee or by court order. However, NSCs can be transferred from one person to
another through the post office on the payment of a prescribed fee. They can also be
transferred form one post office to another. If a certificate a lost, destroyed, stolen or
mutilated, a duplicate can be issued by the post-office on payment of the prescribed
fee.
INFLATION PROTECTION: With a Fixed rate of return, the NSC cannot
provide adequate safeguards against the risk of a high inflation rate.
OPTION OF BORROWING: You can borrow against your NSC by pledging
it after the permission of the concerned post-master.
You can pledge you NSC to any of the following:
> The President of India or Governor of a State is his official capacity.
> The RBI or a scheduled bank or a co-operative society ( including a co-operative
bank).
> A Corporation or a government company.
> A local authority.
> A Housing Finance Company approved by the National Housing Bank and
notified by the Central Government.
TAX IMPLICATIONS: NSCs offer tad benefits as per the provisions of the
Income Tax Act, 1961. Rebates are available under Section 88 of the Income Tax
-
8/7/2019 SVIET DEEPAK SHAREKHAN
49/84
Act, 1961 on both the principal as well as the interest income. Under the provisions
of this Section, an investor can reduce his tax liability by Rs. 12,000 by investing the
maximum permissible sum of Rs. 60,000 in one financial year. Moreover, the annual
interest income ( till five years) is deemed reinvested under Section 88, and is
eligible for tax rebate.
Moreover, the annual interest income ( till five years) is deemed reinvested under
Section 88, and is eligible for a 20 per cent tax rebate. The rebate is calculated @ per
cent if your gross annual salary is upto Rs. 1,00,000. However, the interest income
at the end of the sixth year is not eligible for tax breaks. The interest income every
year also qualifies for exemption under Section 80L of the Income Tax act, which
means that interest income upto Rs. 12,000 is tax-exempt. Thus, while you can
claim 20 percent tax rebate on reinvested interest income, the entire interest income
will be tax-free if it is lower than Rs. 9,000. An added advantage is that TDS ( Tax
Deductible at Source) is not applicable on the NSC.
POST OFFICE MONTHLY INCOME SCHEMES
The post-office monthly income scheme (MIS) provides for monthly payment of
interest income to investors. It is meant for investors who want to invest a lump-sum
amount initially and earn interest on a monthly basis for their livelihood. The
scheme is,
therefore, a boon for retired persons. The post-office MIS gives a return of 8 per
cent plus a bonus of 10 per cent on maturity. However, this 10 per cent bonus is not
available in case of premature withdrawals.
Like all post-office schemes, the MIS has the backing of the Government of India,
and is, therefore, a safe investment. You can be assured of getting your full
-
8/7/2019 SVIET DEEPAK SHAREKHAN
50/84
investment back. Your monthly interest income is assured at the specified rate of
interest. Since this scheme ha the backing of the Government of India, it is a sage
investment channel.
LIQUIDITY: You can buy a post office MIS at any post-office in India. The
duration of the MIS is six years. Investors can withdraw money before three years,
but at a discount of 5 percent. No such deduction will be made if an account is
closed after three years. Premature closure of the account is permitted any time after
the expire of a period of one year of opening the account. Deduction of an amount
equal to5 per cent of the deposit is to be made when the account is prematurely
closed.
INFLATION PROTECTION: With a fixed rate of return, the MIS does not
provide adequate safeguards against high inflation rates.
OPTION OF BORROWING: Depends if the banker accepts it as a security..
TAX IMPLICATIONS: The interest income accruing from a post office MIS
is exempt for tax under Section 80L of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Moreover, no
TDS is deductible on the interest income. The balance is exempt form Wealth Tax.
POST OFFICE TIME DEPOSITS
-
8/7/2019 SVIET DEEPAK SHAREKHAN
51/84
A Time Deposit is an investment option that pays annual interest rates between 6.25
and 7.5 per cent, compounded quarterly, and is available through post-office across
the country. Time Deposits are suitable for capital appreciation in the sense that your
money grows at a pre-determined rate. Unlike certain other investment options,
where returns are commensurate with the risk, the rate of growth is also high, Time
Deposits return a lower, but safer, growth in investment, Therefore, Time Deposits
are one of the better ways to get a relatively high interest rate for your savings. The
only condition is that they are bound for some specific period of time.
With a Government of India-baking , your principal is as assured as it is in any other
post office account. With backing form the Government of India, your interest
income form Time deposits is assured . There are no risks unique to this investment
option.
LIQUIDITY: a time Deposit account can be opened at any post-office. Time
Deposits have a term ranging between 1 and 5 years. The scheme pays annual
interest, but its is compounded quarterly, thus giving a higher yield. Time deposit for
1 year offers a coupon rate of 6.25 per cent, a 2 years deposit offers an interest of
6.5 per cent, 3 years is 7.25 per cent while 5-year Time Deposit offers 7.5 per cent
return. While 2, 3, and 5-year Time Deposits can be closed after one year, theyentail a loss in the interest accrued for the time the account ha been in operation.
INFLATION PROTECTION: Time Deposits are not the ideal investment
option if the rate of inflation is either too high or is fluctuating beyond a limit. Since
the rate of return in case of a Time Deposit is fixed , they cannot guard you against a
high rate of inflation.
-
8/7/2019 SVIET DEEPAK SHAREKHAN
52/84
OPTION OF BORROWING: You can borrow against a Time Deposit. The
balance in you account can be pledged a security for a loan.
TAX IMPLICATIONS: Interest income upto Rs. 9,000 from Time Deposits is
exempt under section 80L of the Income Tax Act, 1961, and no tax is deducted at
source, i.e., the interest income form a Time Deposit is also exempt form TDS.
