* in finance bill 2013-14 , Finance minister has increased the dividend distribution tax in Debt schemes other than liquid and thus are now at par with Liquid schemes which is 27.038%

Let's take an example to understand it better.

The above calculation clearly shows that even if a person comes in lowest tax slab, then also FMP can provide better tax efficient returns after indexation.(if at all inflation is on his side). Moreover when we know that when interest rates are falling, open ended debt funds have potential to deliver better returns

Even when the requirement is to park money less than one year, then also the short term funds and ultra-short term funds prove to be very tax efficient due to less dividend distribution tax.

Happy Investing!!
