Senior citizens can stay invested for a long time while enjoying tax benefits and not worry about frequent reinvestments.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>High Tolerance to Market Volatility:<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The interest rates for tax-free bonds are fixed for the entire lock-in period. So, they can be a hedge against market fluctuations.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Liquidity:<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It is recommended to hold the investment till maturity to maximize tax benefits, but if needed, the bonds can be redeemed by selling them in the secondary market.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Low Risk:<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The interest rates are fixed and unbothered by market turmoil.

The non-cumulative bonds will generate the same interest at every payout date and return the principal on maturity.

They create the opportunity for better capital growth.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Varying Lock-in Period:<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The tenure varies based on the age of the inventors.
