About UTI - Liquid Fund

UTI - Liquid Fund is a liquid fund managed by UTI 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 investment objective of the scheme is to generate steady and reasonable income, with low risk and high level of liquidity from a portfolio of debt & money market instruments. 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.
