This time it is NCD issue by Shriram Commercial Vehicle finance (SCVF) that opens its second tranche of secured NCDs between October 15 and 29. But here there is another catch, as recent fall out of IL&FS and other NBFCs may hinder one to take a call on this instrument assertively. So, here are discussed some fine points suggesting whether or not you should bet on the new NCD issue by SCVF:

How to apply for SCVF NCD?

For the second tranche of SCVF NCDs, applicants can submit the form between 10am to 5 pm or as prescribed by the exchanges during the issue period. It is advised to complete the submission process one day prior to the issue closing date before 3 pm. It is to be noted that the issue can be subscribed to only via the demat route.

Allotments: For retail investors and HNIs, the portion of NCD issue reserved is 40% each. While for others including QIPs and corporate investors, the reserved portion amounts to 10% each, respectively.

Allotments of the issue will be on first come, first serve basis.

Taxation of NCDs : Investors applying NCD issue via demat account will not attract TDS deduction. But on interest received on NCDs, you will be taxed as per your tax slab. This means whether or not NCD issuing company deducts TDS, you need to necessarily report such interest income while filing your income tax return and pay required tax on it.

Should you invest in SCVF NCD post IL&FS and other NBFCs fall-out?

After liquidity problem has hit infrastructure financing major IL&FS, the problem can recur with any of the other NBFC companies. Similar to rating downgrades seen in the case of IL&FS, you never can be sure when a similar scenario can befall other companies. Current credit rating for the issue by CRISIL and India Rating also hold good for now only. So, before taking a bet on these high risk instruments you definitely need to check your risk profile.

At the same, in the rising interest rate scenario, when the RBI in its recent monetary policy has rubbed off any instances of interest rate cuts in near future, one will likely see interest rates trend higher for other safe investments such as bank deposits.
