The S&P BSE India Government Bond index has given higher returns than the S&P BSE Sensex in 2016 so far, as the chart shows. The indices, taken from the S&P Dow Jones indices, have been rebased to 100 at the start of the year. The chart reflects total returns from both indices.

With expectations of another rate cut on the anvil, the prospects for bonds continue to be robust.
