Now that the earnings on fixed income investment instruments across the market including small saving schemes and fixed deposit are treading southwards by few points, in the long run these small changes would mean considerable erosion. So, NCDs with better pay out in terms of real return and post-tax return can be a better option.

 

NCDs or non-convertible debentures are issued by companies to raise funds and they bear fixed return as coupon rate which is paid out to their investors. So, amid lower rates on other fixed-income instruments, NCDs can be a good choice for those willing to invest in fixed-income for a considerable long span.

Conclusion

Conclusion

The first concern with the NCD issue of Mahindra and Mahindra is that these are unsecured in nature i.e in case of any financial crisis in the company, subscribers may face difficulty in getting their due principal and interest amount. To compensate the disadvantage, these NCDs bear higher returns. Also, it is advised to remain invested in these fixed-income instruments until maturity to get away with any re-investment interest rate risk. So, with high chances of default, theses NCDs are also liquid when listed on the exchanges.


Also, unlike other fixed-income investment options such as bank FDs, companies do not deduct any TDS amount on the interest earned on these NCDs on a yearly basis. In fact any security that gets listed on the exchange, does not comes under the TDS ambit, so this is another advantage that retail investors can capitalise on.
