Mumbai, 19 March 2025: The Union Government’s recent Budget announcement has set the stage for a surge in disposable incomes, creating a strong enabler for India’s consumption growth story. With zero tax liability on income up to ₹12.75 lakh or salaried individuals under the new tax regime (effective FY26), Indian consumers will have more spending power, fuelling demand across various sectors. This presents a unique investment opportunity as our economy’s consumption-driven growth story gains momentum.
Recognizing this shift, Tata AIA Life Insurance (Tata AIA)—one of India’s leading life insurers — has introduced two contextual funds targeting different consumer segments:
A) Tata AIA Life Tax Bonanza Consumption Fund: Through this specially curated fund, consumers can not only capitalize on the rising consumption trends but also ensure financial security for their loved ones. Thus, the fund offers the dual advantage of wealth creation and financial security.
B) Tata AIA Life Tax Bonanza Consumption Pension Fund: Exclusively available through Tata AIA’s unit-linked pension solution, this fund is perfect for those looking to grow their savings after retirement. Designed to offer long-term growth, it helps you build a robust retirement fund that can provide financial stability and peace of mind for the years ahead.
Both the New Fund Offers (NFO) will be available from 24th to 31st March 2025, with units priced at ₹10 each.
The Tata AIA Life Tax Bonanza Consumption Fund and Tata AIA Life Tax Bonanza Consumption Pension Fund are strategically designed to capitalize on trends, investing in companies poised to benefit from India’s evolving consumption patterns.
Harshad Patil, Chief Investment Officer at Tata AIA, explains: “India’s consumption patterns are evolving rapidly, driven by urbanization, rising incomes, and a shift towards premium products and services. The Tata AIA Life Tax Bonanza Consumption Fund & Tata AIA Life Tax Bonanza Consumption Pension Fund are designed to help young and middle-aged investors to benefit from this dynamic growth, offering an opportunity to grow wealth while also enjoying the tax advantages the fund offers.”
