Could RBI raise interest rates, and what would that mean for your money? Akhil Mittal, Senior Fund Manager, Fixed Income at Tata Asset Management, speaks with Anupam Gupta about India’s interest rate outlook, opportunities in the bond market and the financial health of Corporate India. Akhil explains why he expects higher rates, where he sees value in government and corporate bonds, and how investors should think about debt mutual funds after the changes in taxation. The conversation also covers the difference between FDs and debt funds, the risks behind higher yields, and why access to your money matters as much as the return. Have a bonus, ESOP payout or business surplus to park for three to twelve months? They discuss that too, along with choosing funds through credit quality, duration and yield to maturity. From decoding your personal finances to demystifying business models, Paisa Vaisa delivers candid, insightful, and jargon-free conversations.
