Why Bonds via Praarabdh

G-Sec for capital safety

Government bonds (T-Bills, dated securities) are sovereign-backed — the absolute safest rupee asset class. Returns track repo rate.

54EC for capital gains saved

Sold a property and have LTCG? Park up to ₹50 L in 54EC (REC/PFC/NHAI) within 6 months and the LTCG tax disappears.

Corporate bonds laddered

AAA-rated corporate bonds yield 1-2% above G-Sec. We help you ladder maturities so liquidity + yield both work.

Bonds — frequently asked

How is interest taxed?

Interest is taxed as income at slab rate. STCG (< 12 months) at slab rate; LTCG (> 12 months on listed bonds) at 12.5% w/o indexation.

What's the minimum investment?

G-Sec via RBI Retail Direct: ₹10,000 minimum. Corporate bonds: typically ₹10,000 - ₹1 L per bond on exchange-traded routes.

Can I sell before maturity?

Listed corporate bonds and G-Secs trade on NSE/BSE — yes, but at prevailing market price (which can be above or below face value).

Are bonds DICGC-insured?

No — DICGC covers bank deposits only. Bond safety depends on the issuer rating (AAA / AA / A / BBB).
