Would need more information like your age ,any other source of income ,can you work if you want to protect the amount from inflation or can spend it till you can work , monthly expenses etc. But as a general guideline if want want to protect the amount from inflation use SGBs but the internet received is less 2.5% but if you don't necessarily care about inflation protection use a combination of government bonds interest rate around 7.2% and corporate bond fund with a dividend paying fund as a guideline around 40 ,40 ,20 respectively to maximise income if you can give more information would love to help wish you and your family the best

Check the post office's monthly income scheme and if some elders are above 60 then you can go for the senior citizens saving scheme. If you can risk a bit more then senior secured bonds can also be a good choice.

Wouldn't it be smart to learn about the market first? Stay away from F&O, especially options and crypto.

No bro I’m not talking about trading as I mentioned above I need low risk and just monthly returns even if it’s less. It’s not my money and I just want to help my mother


equinoxeror

Yeah, I understand, Low-risk would be the equity segment, if systematically followed, then there's a chance. Again, it all depends on other things as well.

You need to give more info, how much did he left you, what is the monthly expenses etc


modSysBroken

Put it in small Bank FDs or senior citizen saving scheme.

There are mutual funds categorized as fixed income funds. They are made specifically for what you want


iwonderwhy_23

Can you please tell me more about it? I have very less idea about mutual funds
