Should you subscribe?

The NCDs of Muthoot Finance are rated well by ICRA. They are also secured instruments. Nontheless, in today's date and time nothing can be considered as absolutely secure and every instrument carries a risk. The coupon rates are very attractive as compared to bank interest rates, which probably gives the Muthoot NCDs a slight edge.
