These days there is an increase in the interest rates of bank fixed deposits at the same time there is a fixed income mutual fund category. Not sure what to choose What about you?

Even though Mutual Funds have higher returns, I would choose Fixed deposit over Mutual Funds. I have no particular reason for this

It is difficult to predict the returns on mutual fund , the performance depends on the fund manager. So it is better to divide the investment between the mutual fund and fixed deposits.

Manual deposits all the way. I prefer having control over my investments, so I opt for manual deposits into my fixed deposit accounts.

I have both mutual funds and fixed deposits. Yes, interest rate for fixed deposit has increased these days. The beauty of fixed deposit is that there is no risk. The return of mutual funds may be higher, but some risks are involved.

Indian citizens should be aware that government NDML records for some investors are changed without their permission or knowledge due to which they are not able to make any changes in the mutual fund records, withdraw their investment.
NDML refuses to provide information on how the personal details of the investor was changed in their database without informing the investor.

If I were you, i think i would go with the fixed deposit since the interest rate is high and it would help you to save more without being tempted to spend the money before the fixed time.
