50year bond by GoI?

Finance noob here. Apologies in advance for obvious statements. Can someone please explain in simple terms what this 50 year bond that’s going to be sold by GoI is? What is the use and how is it same/different from putting money in MF or SIP or even FD?

I went through the news just because of this. From what I understand these bonds are meant for institutional investors and foreign investors such as insurance companies and investment funds. Given the popularity of Indian bonds, GoI decided to introduce these long term bonds in addition to 30 years and 40 years tenure bonds. I am not sure if a common man can buy these directly though.

What do you advise for someone looking to make safe & short term investment?

As the title reads - I am looking to invest a small amount for a short term (1-1.5 year) and I don't want exceptional returns as my risk appetite is small. I am just looking for safe options that can protect & grow my monry enough to lighten the blow of inflation. I am planning to get married in the next 2 years and will need this money then. TIA

NPS is best for 7LPA+ salaried. Are you investing? If not, why not?

NPS 80 CCD(1B) is the best low cost option if you can save additional 50k per year. It comes with a long lock-in but since we mostly don’t have jobs with pensions so it’s worth to get lakhs of Rupees when we retire. March is around so if anyone wants to invest quickly and save tax, can message me. Happy to help!

Sovereign Gold Bonds

Are SGBs worth it? What happens if we buy from the secondary market instead of RBI? How is the interest calculated for those? Is the interest taxed as per slab?

Where to invest Rs. 2 lacs right now?

Hi folks, Personally, I thought I should invest in the index fund. Because, I don't want to take the risk with this amount. But I would still like to know 2 things - 1. Is the index fund fine? 2. Is it the right time to invest in lumpsum Or should I do an SIP of 20k? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance :)
