If you are looking to park cash for the short term, Treasury Bills (T-Bills) are a good alternative to bank fixed deposits.On shorter tenures (91 and 182 days), T-Bills typically offer higher yields than matching bank FDs.You can invest in T-Bills directly on Kite under Bids > Govt. Securities. The bidding window is open every week on Monday and Tuesday.Here is a quick breakdown of how T-Bills work:T-Bills are issued by the RBI on behalf of the Government of India.Unlike bonds, which pay periodic interest, T-Bills are issued at a discount and redeemed at face value (₹100) on maturity. The difference is your return.For example, if you buy a T-Bill at a discounted price of ₹98, you receive the full ₹100 at maturity. The ₹2 difference is what you earn.If you trade in the markets, you can also pledge 182-day and 364-day T-Bills for collateral margin and are considered

Flexi-cap funds give fund managers the freedom to invest across large, mid, and small-cap stocks. But many still invest mostly in large caps.One reason is size; funds managing thousands of crores cannot easily deploy large amounts into smaller companies. Benchmarks also play a role. If a fund is compared with an index that is around 70% large-cap, moving too far from it increases the risk of underperforming the benchmark.So, flexibility on paper does not always lead to very different portfolios.In fact, the opposite can sometimes be true. Multi-cap funds have less flexibility because they must invest at least 25% each in large, mid, and small caps. But those stricter rules ensure that the portfolio actually has exposure across all three.This Varsity post takes a closer look at how flexi-cap and multi-cap funds have behaved over time:SubstackFlexi-cap vs multi-cap mutual fundsThe label on the box and the product inside are not always the same thing.Zerodha

We’ve added a few data points to market depth on Kite web that will be available during the CAS window to help you track the auction:- Reference price: The VWAP between 3:00 PM and 3:15 PM. This is the reference around which the closing auction is conducted. - Indicative close: The price at which the maximum quantity of buy and sell orders can currently be matched. This tells you where the stock may close if the auction were to end at that point. - Total imbalance quantity: Tells you how much buy or sell quantity remains unmatched at the current indicative equilibrium price.For indices, you can also see the indicative close, which gives you an estimate of where the index may close based on its constituent stocks.These data points will be available in the Kite app soon.Learn more about CAS: https://zerodha.com/z-connect/general/everything-you-need-to-know-about-closing-auction-ses

A lot of our customers don't know that you can set up SIPs for stocks and ETFs, just like mutual funds. SIPs are probably the easiest way to bring some discipline to investing.We’ve had Stock SIPs on Kite for a while, but the process of setting one up could have been better.We've now introduced an all-new Stock SIP flow on Kite web. You can add stocks or ETFs while creating an SIP, choose between quantity-based and amount-based SIPs, and allocate the investment amount across multiple stocks or ETFs.For example, say you want to invest ₹10,000 every month in the Nifty TOP100CASE ETF. You can simply create an amount-based SIP for ₹10,000 and set the schedule. Or, if you want to invest across multiple stocks or ETFs, you can add them to the same SIP and decide how the ₹10,000 should be split between them.For amount-based SIPs, you can also automate funding using UPI Autopay.ComingZ-Connect by ZerodhaIntroducing updated Stock SIP experience on Kite webBuilding a long-term portfolio is not only about choosing what to invest in.

Tax filing is one of those things that gets surprisingly complicated once you start trading or investing across different segments.If you haven’t filed your return yet, the deadlines for FY 2025–26 are:• July 31, 2026, for ITR-1 and ITR-2 • August 31, 2026, for ITR-3 and ITR-4 cases that don’t require a tax audit • October 31, 2026, for cases that require a tax auditA large part of the difficulty is simply bringing all the information together, capital gains, trading P&L, dividends, interest income, turnover, charges, and so on.We’ve made a few improvements to the Tax P&L reports on Console this year to reduce some of this work.1. The Trade-wise Entry/Exit and Equity sheets now classify investments as equity, non-equity, and debt ETFs. 2. Short-term and long-term gains for non-equity transactions are shown separately. 3.

Markets are always changing. Some changes make headlines, most do not.Delta, a new Varsity newsletter, looks beyond the closing price to understand what is moving underneath.The word “Delta” appears in physics, mathematics, and options trading. It means different things in each, but the underlying idea is the same: change.At the end of every trading day, one number gets most of the attention: the close. Whether the market ended in the green or the red often becomes the entire story.But the close tells you only where the market ended. It does not tell you how many shares changed hands, how much went into delivery, where open interest was building, or which sectors were taking the lead. It does not explain how commodity prices are affecting industries, how options traders are positioned, or what bond yields and the rupee are signalling about the economy.All this information isSubstackMind Over Markets by Zerodha Varsity | SubstackWe uncover finance topics, make them insightful in unconventional and fun ways, and deliver them straight to your inbox.

The closer you get to a financial goal, the less time you have to recover from a market fall. Yet many portfolios remain just as risky near the goal as they were at the start.Reducing risk over time sounds easy, but behaviour often gets in the way. When markets are rising, cutting equity exposure feels like missing out. When they fall, it feels like locking in losses. So many investors delay rebalancing and take more risk than they should.Life Cycle funds address this through a pre-defined glide path. They invest across equity, debt, and gold, gradually reducing equity exposure and making the portfolio more conservative as the target year approaches.Zerodha AMC has launched two such funds:- Zerodha Life Cycle Fund 2036: for goals roughly 10 years away - Zerodha Life Cycle Fund 2041: for goals roughly 15 years awayThe NFO is now open on Coin: https://coin.zerodha.com/mf/invest?n
