The tax math makes a case for itself as well. Consider Rs. 1 crore to be invested in a 50:50 equity-debt allocation assuming 12% return from equity and 8% from debt before tax.
Self-managed (equity taxed at 12.5%, debt at 39% slab): 7.69% post-tax.
Anchor-type strategy investing in hybrid MFs (taxed at 12.5%): 8.75% post-tax.
Same returns before tax. The structure changes the outcome: Rs. 7.3 lakh more over 5 years.

Amazon makes a big move in the humanoid game.
Amazon has acquired Fauna Robotics, a New York-based humanoid robot startup. The transaction closed last week.
Fauna Robotics developed Sprout, a compact and approachable humanoid robot designed for safe, everyday interaction in shared human spaces such as homes, offices, and schools. Standing about 3.5 feet tall, Sprout can walk, grasp objects, interact with people, and even dance. The robot was launched in January this year as a humanoid platform for developers, priced at $50,000.
Following the acquisition, Fauna’s roughly 50 employees will join Amazon. The company will continue deploying Sprout to outside researchers, and the startup will retain its name while operating as “Fauna, an Amazon company.” $AMZN

That is what Banks collected in last 3 years just for not maintaining ‘Minimum Account Balance.’
Not from the rich. Not from big borrowers.
From the poorest accounts in the system.
Their crime? They didn’t have enough money.
A farmer misses the minimum balance - Penalty.
A pensioner withdraws money for medicine - Penalty.
A daily wage worker falls short by a few hundred rupees - Penalty.
The poor keep money in banks for safety. Not to be quietly fined for being poor.
Financial inclusion should protect small savings, not punish small balances.
In Parliament today I proposed ending minimum balance penalties so the banking system stops charging people for their poverty.
