Mutual Fund vs FD? When thinking of saving money, the first thing that most people consider doing is Investing in fixed deposits (FDs). That’s usually because it is easy to understand and is being done since generations. But is it the most appropriate investment? And does it provide the best returns? Or mutual fund investments can serve the purpose better? To know the answers to these questions, read below!
FD or Fixed Deposit
Fixed Deposit, also known as FD is a popular Bank investment option suitable for both long-term and short-term investments. FD returns are fixed as the FD interest rate is pre-decided by the government of India. The interest rate on Fixed Deposits being fixed, there is no effect of inflation on these investments.
Also, the FD returns are taxable in the hands of investors. However, FD investments are liable for tax deductions under Section 80C of income tax Act.
Mutual Funds
Mutual Fund is of three types, Debt, Equity and Balanced Mutual Funds. Debt Mutual Funds are those that invest most of the assets in government Bonds, corporate bonds and the rest in equity markets. Contrarily, Equity Mutual Funds invest more than 65% of its assets in equity markets and the rest in government bonds, corporate bonds and securities. While Balanced Mutual Funds are those that invest partially in debt and partially in Equity Funds. Mutual Fund is an inflation beating instrument, so it is more tax efficient and is expected to offer better returns on long-term investments.
Which is a Better Long Term Investment?
Now that we know that Mutual Funds and Fixed Deposits (FDs) are both Tax Saving Investments, the question that arises is - Where should one invest? Though it is a subjective question and the answer to it may vary from person to person, below is a comparison mentioned based on various parameters that might help you choose better.
1. Mutual Fund Returns & FD Returns
The returns on Fixed Deposit is pre-specified and does not change throughout the tenure. While Mutual Funds, being linked to the financial market, offer better returns on long-term investments.
2. FD Interest Rates & Mutual Fund Returns
The interest rate on FDs are fixed depending on the type of FD or the period of FD, so one cannot expect higher interest rates on Fixed Deposits. On the other hand, the returns on Mutual Funds vary as different kinds of funds offer volatile returns. If the market goes high the returns increase and vice-a-versa.
3. Risk Factors
Fixed Deposits hardly pose any risk as the returns are pre-determined. Also, if the bank gets busted all bank accounts are insured upto INR 1 lakh. On the other hand, Mutual Funds carry a higher risk as they invest their assets in the financial market. Equity Mutual Funds, having most of its assets invested in equity markets, carry a much higher risk. While investing in Debt Mutual Funds is less risky, as very less portion of these funds is invested in stock market.

4. The Impact of Inflation
The interest rate being pre-decided, there is no effect of inflation on Fixed Deposits. While, for Mutual Funds, the returns are inflation-adjusted that enhances its potential to earn better returns.
5. Capital Gains
There are no Capital Gains possible in the case of FDs. For Mutual funds, capital gains depend on the holding period. Different Mutual Funds offer varied capital gains.
6. Liquidity
Fixed deposits are illiquid, as the invested amount is locked for a certain amount of time. If the money is withdrawn before that period, a certain penalty is deducted. While Mutual Funds are liquid as they can be sold in a short period of time without causing much depreciation in the fund value. However, it is important to keep a check the exit loads applicable on selling a few Mutual Funds.
7. Taxation
The interest on Fixed Deposit is taxed as per the tax slab of the individual. On the other hand, Mutual Fund Taxation majorly depends on the holding period. Both Short Term Capital Gains (STCG) and Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG) are taxed differently.
8. Tax Saving FD's V/S Equity Linked Saving Schemes (ELSS)
For investors who are considering FD's for Tax Saving purpose under section 80c of IT Act. (5 Year Lockin) ELSS Mutual Funds are good alternative as they have lock in of 3 Years and has offered better returns historically.
Which is a Better Investment Plan ?
Let's look briefly:
| Parameter | Mutual Fund | Fixed Deposit |
|---|---|---|
| Rate of Returns | No Assured Returns | Fixed Returns |
| Inflation Adjusted Returns | Potential for High Inflation Adjusted Returns | Usually Low Inflation Adjusted Returns |
| Risk | Medium to High Risk | 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 |
| Tax Status | Favorable Tax Status | As Per Tax Slab |
