Bond Investment FAQs

Your Questions, Answered

Are bonds taxable?

Yes, most bond investments are taxed. The interest income earned from bonds is generally added to your total income and taxed according to your income tax slab. However, some bonds (like tax-free bonds from government-backed enterprises) offer tax-exempt interest income.

What is the difference between bonds and shares?

Bonds are debt instruments where the issuer (usually the government, its subsidiary, or a large corporation) borrows money from investors and pays interest periodically. Shares represent equity ownership in a company, entitling the shareholder to price appreciation and a share in profits (dividends) but also exposing them to higher risk.

What is the difference between bonds and debentures?

Bonds are typically secured against the issuer's assets, whereas debentures are unsecured debt instruments, relying on the issuer's creditworthiness. Debentures often offer higher returns to compensate for the increased risk.

Who should consider investing in bonds?

Bonds are ideal for investors seeking stable fixed returns with lower risk. They are best for conservative investors, retirees, or anyone looking to de-risk and diversify their portfolio.

Is it safe to invest in bonds?

Bond investing is usually considered safer than equity investments. Government bonds, which are backed by sovereign guarantees, are considered among the safest. The overall safety of other bonds depends on the issuer's creditworthiness. Ratings from agencies like CRISIL and ICRA help assess the risk.

What is the minimum amount required to invest in a bond?

The minimum investment varies by bond type. For example, government bonds typically require higher minimum investments, while corporate or retail bonds may have lower thresholds.

Can bonds be sold before maturity?

Yes, many bonds can be sold before maturity on the secondary market. However, the sale will be constrained by available liquidity and market demand, so it is important to consider impact costs when selling bonds in this manner..

How can I track my bond investments?

You can track your bond investments through Anand Rathi’s comprehensive online platform and the TradeMobi app, which provides real-time updates on interest payments, maturity dates, and overall performance.

What are the risks associated with bonds?

While bonds are among the safer investment options, they come with risks such as interest rate risk (price changes due to fluctuating rates), credit risk (issuer default), and liquidity risk (difficulty in selling before maturity).

Can NRIs invest in bonds in India?

Yes, NRIs can buy bonds such as government bonds and corporate bonds, subject to RBI guidelines.

What is the tenure range for bonds?

Bond tenures vary widely, from short-term bonds (less than a year) to long-term bonds (up to 30 years). Choose a tenure that aligns with your financial goals.

How are bond ratings determined?

Bond ratings are issued by credit rating agencies like CRISIL, ICRA, and CARE. They assess the issuer's creditworthiness based on financial health, repayment ability, and market conditions.

Are bonds suitable for short-term investment?

Some bonds, like short-term corporate bonds or money market instruments, can be used for short-term investments. However, most bonds are better suited for medium- to long-term goals.
