About Axis Gilt Fund
Axis Gilt Fund is a gilt fund managed by Axis Mutual Fund. Invest at least 80% in government securities. No default risk, but prices move with interest rates.
The Scheme will aim to generate credit risk-free returns through investments in sovereign securities issued by the Central Government and/or State Government.
The scheme's stated objective, as published by Axis Mutual Fund.
The NAV (net asset value) is the price of one unit of the fund. It is published by the fund house every business day and changes with the value of the fund's holdings. The Growth option reinvests all gains, so its NAV reflects the fund's total return.
Tax on your gains
Gains on debt fund units bought on or after 1 April 2023 are added to your income and taxed at your slab rate, however long you hold them. Units bought before that date follow the older long-term rules.
