About LIC MF Liquid Fund

LIC MF Liquid Fund is a liquid fund managed by LIC 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.

An open ended scheme which seeks to generate reasonable returns with low risk and high liquidity through a judicious mix of investment in money market instruments and quality debt instruments. However, there is no assurance that the investment objective of the Scheme will be realised.

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