About Canara Robeco Gilt Fund

Canara Robeco Gilt Fund is a gilt fund managed by Canara Robeco Mutual Fund. Invest at least 80% in government securities. No default risk, but prices move with interest rates.

To provide risk free return (except interest rate risk) while maintaining stability of capital and liquidity. Being a dedicated Gilt Scheme, the funds will be invested in securities as defined under Sec. 2 (2) of Public Debt Act, 1944. However, there can be no assurance that the investment objective of the Scheme will be realized.

The scheme's stated objective, as published by Canara Robeco 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.
