HOW TO INVEST IN GOLD: Gold IRA Investing
HOW TO INVEST IN SILVER: Silver IRA Investing
The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) Prelims 2022 will cover a wide array of topics, one of which is inflation index bonds. Inflation index bonds (IIBs) are an investment option that is linked to the inflation rate. Investing in IIBs is a good way to protect your invested capital from inflation risk.
However, the UPSC Prelims 2022 may pose a challenge to candidates who are not familiar with the concept of IIBs. To solve this problem, it is essential to understand the basic concepts of inflation, inflation risk and IIBs.
Inflation is the increase in the prices of goods and services over time, leading to a decrease in purchasing power. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of your investment will decrease due to inflation. IIBs aim to mitigate this risk by providing a return that is linked to the inflation rate.
To solve the IIBs question in the UPSC prelims, candidates must understand how to calculate the return on IIBs and how it is related to the inflation rate. The return on IIBs is calculated as the nominal interest rate subtracted from the inflation rate. For example, if the nominal interest rate is 2% and the inflation rate is 3%, then the return on IIBs would be -1%.
Candidates must also understand the various types of IIBs available, such as capital-indexed bonds and coupon-indexed bonds. They must know the differences between these types and when to select a particular type for investing.
Moreover, candidates must also be aware of the risks associated with IIBs such as interest rate risk and reinvestment risk. The interest rate risk is the risk that the market interest rate will change, leading to a change in the nominal interest rate. Reinvestment risk is the risk that the investor will not be able to reinvest the interest payments at the same nominal interest rate.
In conclusion, the UPSC Prelims 2022 will test candidates on their understanding of inflation index bonds. To solve the question on IIBs, candidates must understand the basic concepts of inflation, inflation risk, and IIBs. Moreover, they must be aware of the different types of IIBs available and the risks associated with them. By gaining a comprehensive understanding of these concepts, candidates can solve the IIBs question with ease.

over age होने वाले aspirants ध्यान दे!!
UPSC “1 aug” को refrence date लेकर age calculate करती है। जबकी notification की date से age caculate करनी चाहिये।
ये natural justice के खिलाफ है।
ऐसे बहुत सारे aspirants हैं जो इसी वजह (1 aug) से over age माने जाते हैं और under age होते हुए भी 1 attempt नही दे पाते।
ऐसे सभी लोग जो IAS 2023 के लिये इसी कारण over age हैं मिलकर एक यूनियन बनाते हैं और SC मे complaint करते हैं।
