Alternatives to Fixed Deposit

[Logical Trader]

Public Provident Fund (PPF) is also a good alternative.

I found these best alternatives to FDs where I prefer to invest: NPS (National Pension Scheme), G-Sec, debt mutual funds.

Govt securities, Monthly income scheme, Public Provident fund, Recurring Deposit in post office are some alternatives to fixed deposit.
All these schemes are safer and provide you higher return as compared to equity as they are not market linked.

I prefer investing in government bonds rather than FDs.
