HDFC Banking and PSU Debt Fund is a banking and psu debt fund from HDFC Mutual Fund. This page covers the direct plan, growth option, the version with no distributor commission inside its expense ratio. A fund in this category keeps at least 80 percent in bonds issued by banks, public sector undertakings and public financial institutions. It manages ₹5,055 crore of investors' money and charges an expense ratio of 0.35 percent a year, deducted before the NAV is struck.

Its direct plan has returned 3.59 percent over one year, 6.78 percent a year over three years, 6.12 percent a year over five years and 7 percent a year over ten years; figures beyond a year are annualised, and past returns say nothing certain about future ones.

How HDFC Banking and PSU Debt Fund is taxed

Mutual fund gains are capital gains, taxed when you redeem, and the rate depends on what the scheme holds and how long you held the units. The rules below are those in force after the Finance Act of 2024 for redemptions from 23 July 2024, with the changes of April 2025 for gold, silver and international funds. Rupix is not a tax adviser; confirm the treatment for your own case.

Debt schemes, those keeping more than sixty-five percent in bonds and money market instruments, are taxed at your income tax slab rate on the whole gain whenever you redeem units bought on or after 1 April 2023, however long you held them. Units bought before that date and held for more than twenty-four months are long-term, taxed at twelve and a half percent without indexation.

Income distributed by the scheme under the IDCW option is added to your income and taxed at your slab rate, with tax deducted at source at ten percent once payouts exceed ten thousand rupees in a year, from 1 April 2025.
