This is a hypothetical illustration to explain the concept of indexation and its benefit and actual figures would vary. The Scheme is not providing any assured or guaranteed returns, neither forecasting any returns. HDFC Mutual Fund/HDFC AMC is not guaranteeing/offering/ communicating any indicative yield on investments for the said Scheme. The features of conventional fixed income investments and Banking & PSU Debt Funds are not comparable. The comparison is limited to tax efficiency, which is subject to changes in prevailing tax laws. Changes in tax structure may affect post tax returns. Interest calculation is assumed on yearly cumulative basis. In view of individual nature of tax consequences, each investor is advised to consult his/her own professional tax advisor.
