About Bandhan Banking and PSU Debt Fund

Bandhan Banking and PSU Debt Fund is a banking and psu fund managed by Bandhan Mutual Fund. Invest at least 80% in bonds of banks, public sector undertakings and public financial institutions.

The Scheme seeks to generate returns through investments in debt and money market instruments predominantly issued by entities such as Banks, Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) and Public Financial Institutions (PFIs).

The scheme's stated objective, as published by Bandhan 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.
