    Solution

    The finance ministry has allowed public sector undertakings (PSUs) to invest in debt schemes of all mutual funds. Earlier, provisions limited central public sector enterprises (CPSEs) to investment in public sector mutual funds only, in which the government held more than 50 percent share. The period of maturity of any instrument of investment shall not exceed one year from the date of investment, except in case of term deposits with banks and government securities where it can extend up to three years.
