About BANDHAN LIQUID Fund

BANDHAN LIQUID Fund is a liquid fund managed by Bandhan Mutual Fund. Invest in debt and money market securities maturing within 91 days. Low risk, withdrawals usually reach your bank the next working day; an alternative to a savings account for short-term money.

The Scheme seeks to offer an investment avenue for short term savings by looking to generate returns commensurate with a low risk strategy and with high liquidity, from a portfolio that is invested in debt and money market securities with maturity up to 91 days.

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.
