The debtors are gainers during inflation, while the creditors are losers. The reason this happens is because, during inflation, the value of money reduces greatly. The implications of which are that a rupee in the month of August is worth much less than what it was worth back in March.
This means that a person can buy fewer goods per rupee in the month of august, than what he could in the month of March. In terms of the debtor, he is essentially paying back a smaller amount (in real terms) even though the amount he owed to the creditor remained the same.
As far as the creditor is concerned, the value of the money that he receives from his debtors is worth much less than what it was when he lent it to them. (Implying that his purchasing power will be reduced when they repay him)

Inflation typically benefits debtors, as it reduces the real value of their outstanding debts. When prices rise, the money they repay is worth less than when they borrowed it, effectively lowering their repayment burden. Additionally, businesses that can pass on increased costs to consumers may also benefit from inflation, as they can maintain or even enhance their profit margins. Overall, while inflation is challenging for creditors, it can provide relief to borrowers and certain sectors of the economy.
The inflation affects the investment indirectly when read with the return. Example if an investment provides a return of 6%, and the inflation during the same period is 5%, the investment in real terms increases only by 1% and not by 6%, as inflation eats away returns to the tune of 5%.
