About UTI Banking & PSU Debt Fund

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

The investment objective of the scheme is to generate reasonable income, with low risk and high level of liquidity from a portfolio of predominantly debt & money market securities issued by Banks, Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs), Public Financial Institutions (PFIs) and Municipal Bonds. However there can be no assurance that the investment objective of the Scheme will be achieved. The Scheme does not guarantee / indicate any returns.

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