Gilt

Meaning: 

A Gilt is defined as a government security (bond) issued by the Government of India. Gilts are considered one of the safest investment instruments because they are backed
by the central government. In simpler terms, a Gilt is a government bond that offers a safe and fixed income with low risk.

Example:

For instance, if you invest in a Gilt of ₹50,000, you will receive regular interest  payments and get your money back when the bond matures.

How to understand Gilt: 

Gilts have very low risk since the government guarantees repayment.
They provide stable returns, making them a good choice for long-term safety.

Importance of Gilts: 

Gilts can provide better returns than bank fixed deposits while maintaining a similar level of  risk.
