Government Bonds (or G-Secs) are debt instruments issued by the Reserve Bank of India on behalf of the central or state government. When you invest in a government bond, you are lending money to the government. In return, you earn fixed interest (called a coupon) and receive your principal at maturity.
Stability deserves performance too. With yields reaching up to 7%, Government Bonds bring fixed-income security and attractive returns together.
