Invest in Government Bonds
Government bonds are also a better option among all investment options. They are considered very safe for investment in debt fund categories. The reason is that they are guaranteed by the government. There is a fixed interest on these bonds. Government bonds are also called government securities. Due to being a debt instrument, their returns are fixed at interest rates. Right now the interest rates are at lower levels. At the same time, looking at inflation, there is no hope of increasing it. Therefore, it can be a higher return option than small savings.
Governments issue
Government bonds are issued by the central and state authorities. The government usually issues bonds to meet its fiscal deficit. Sometimes they also need funds, due to which they are released. Through this, funds are raised from investors. Now investment is allowed even for small investors. These are issued for both short and long term.

The paper quality of the bond is better due to being issued by the government. The risk in them is very less.
