I recommend to invest in Liquid Mutual Fund (Direct plans) as current 10 year Govt Bond yield is low at 6.7%. I believe that the bond yield will increase over the next 1-2 years. Switch to Debt Gilt Mutual Fund (Direct Plan) when the bond yield increases to 8-8.5%. One can easily get 6-7% return which is higher than the current FDs returns.
