FD Vs Debt Mutual Fund

Updated on April 23, 2024 , 7272 views

FD vs Debt fund? Thinking where to invest your savings to earn good returns. Generally, people consider Investing in fixed deposit or FD to be the most convenient option as it is safe and offers fixed returns. But is it the best way? Though Fixed Deposit is an easy investment option for all, however, the returns of fixed deposits being taxable are much less as compared to a Debt Fund. Moreover, when held for a longer duration, Debt Mutual Funds offer good returns. Before making a final decision to invest in debt mutual funds or fixed deposits, go through the detailed comparison of these investments.

In summary:

FD-Vs-Debt-Fund

Debt Mutual Funds (Debt Fund) Vs Fixed Deposits (FD)

We would need to break this up by the ability to take a risk and the intended holding period of the investor in question.

Short Holding Period (1 Year or Less)

Here the options for debt fund would be limited to Liquid Funds, ultra-short term funds and short-term Income funds. While the returns or yields normally would go higher from liquid to ultra-short to Short term fund, the yield differential between these debt funds and a Fixed Deposit can be determined considering their returns in last one year.

Debt Mutual Fund (Category Average Return)

Type Of Debt Mutual Fund Last 1 yr. Return (%)
Liquid Fund 7.36
Ultra Short-term Debt Funds 9.18
Short-term Debt Funds 9.78
Dynamic Debt Funds 13.89
Long-term Debt Funds 13.19
Gilt Short-term Funds 11.76
Gilt Long-term Funds 15.06
Data as of 20th Feb 2017

Fixed Deposit or FD Average Return Rate

The Average Return rate of Fixed Deposits ranged from 8-8.5% p.a. in the year 2016 (so one can compare the above returns in the table). However, in the past one year, the return rate has dropped to 6.6-7.5% p.a.

With the above illustration, it is clear that the average rate of return of Debt Funds is better than that of Fixed Deposits.

Long-Term Holding Period

With a long intended holding period, debt funds may prove to be better than FDs.

The options to invest here would be:

  • Long term income funds
  • Long-term gilt,
  • Corporate bond funds (high yield funds), in addition to the options mentioned above the liquid, ultra-short and short term funds may also be used.

Given that the holding period could be 3 years or more, we can say the following:

  • With Capital gains tax at 20% with indexation benefits, the net tax incidence would be minimal ( however one should calculate the tax incidence given the year of incurring tax)
  • Long term income funds/Gilt Funds with high yields and additionally, if interest rates move down would give very higher returns.
  • One could end up with high double digit returns with these debt funds.

Take the example below of returns on long-term income funds, the average last 1-year return for the category is 12.19% and last 3 years is 10.32% p.a. No FD could have given a similar return in the period. Gilt Fund returns are even higher. In the same period, last year FD rates would have been close to 8-8.5% per annum across most banks, (albeit today the rates have dropped further to 6.5 - 7.5%)

Last-1-Year-Return(%)-of-Long-Term-Income-Funds

Last-1-Year-Returns-of-Long-term-Gilt-Funds

So with an investor having a long intended holding period and interest rates falling, a debt fund (Long term income or Gilt) would give much better returns than an FD. Even in the case of interest rates not falling, high yield corporate bond funds would beat FDs in the same period.

Taxation on Debt Mutual Funds and Fixed Deposits

Taxation also plays an important role in determining the returns of the debt funds and fixed deposits. Typically, taxation on Fixed Deposits is 33% (marginal rate of tax) while on Debt Funds if one invests with a less than 3-year view then incurring dividend distribution tax would be a better option given that DDT (Dividend Distribution Tax) is deducted at approximately 25% (+surcharge etc). This shows that taxation on debt mutual funds is relatively lower than that in fixed deposits.

The additional benefits that come with debt funds are:

  • liquidity: money available within 1–2 days from Redemption
  • Professional management: ability to dynamically change strategy and take advantage of markets
  • No premature withdrawal penalty.

To sum up:

Parameters Mutual Funds Fixed Deposits
Rate of Returns No Assured Returns Fixed Returns
Inflation Adjusted Returns Potential of High Inflation Adjusted Returns Usually Low Inflation Adjusted Returns
Risk Low to High Risk (Depends of Fund Low Risk
Liquidity Liquid Liquid
Premature Withdrawal Allowed with Exit Load/No Load Allowed with Penalty
Cost of Investment Management Cost/Expense Ratio No Cost
