One question. One truth.
“Should I invest in mutual funds or fixed deposits?”
An investor's risk appetite is the primary factor when choosing between mutual funds and fixed deposits. Mutual funds offer higher potential returns of 12-20%, but carry market risk, while fixed deposits guarantee returns of 2.5%-8.85%.

CURRENT STATE
In early 2026, the RBI's stable repo rate of 5.25% and 2.75% inflation support fixed deposit interest rates between 2.5% and 8.85%. Small finance banks offer the highest rates. The SENSEX declined 4.26% in the past month, reflecting equity mutual fund market volatility.
