Earn more on your idle bank balance
Here's how you can earn double the returns you get in a savings bank account without compromising on liquidity
The charm of a savings bank account lies in the flexibility it offers to call your money at will. But it comes at a cost as the money idling in your bank account earns a meager 4%. So is there a way out? Is it possible to earn superior returns as well as get instant liquidity?
As the chart above shows, you can effectively double the return on your money, simply by keeping it in ultra short term funds rather than savings bank accounts. This can make a huge difference to how much you earn on your idle money. For instance, a Rs 3 lakh corpus can earn Rs75,000 more in ultra short term funds than in your savings bank account in 5 years' time.
This Strategy doesn't come at the cost of liquidity.
Not any more. The Indian Mutual Fund industry now offers an instant redemption facility which allows you to keep your day-to-day or emergency money in an ultra-short term fund or a liquid fund. These funds earlier allowed you to redeem your money within one day if your request was submitted before 3 pm. Now you can get your money instantaneously at the click of a button, and earn a higher interest rate on it.
Some might argue that it is better to keep it in short term fixed deposits. However these instruments are not flexible - the term may be short but it is fixed and premature closures will attract penalties.
There are of course some caveats. The fund will typically stipulate a limit on the amount of money you can get at a moment's notice and it will also limit it as a percentage of your holding with the fund. However does that defeat the purpose of the offering itself? We think not.
