Apply online in few simple steps |  Pay via UPI | Minimum investment is 10K only

Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) are debt securities issued by corporations. NCDs come with a fixed interest rate; hence investors get fixed income. And on maturity, the principal amount is paid back to the investor. You can invest in NCDs in the secondary market; else, you need to participate in the IPO in the Primary Market. The advantage of investing via IPO is that you get NCDs at face value, and the minimum investment is 10K only.

Retail investors can apply for an IPO both ways – online or offline. The investor has to physically submit the application and cheque in offline mode, which is very time-consuming. If the investment amount is less than or equal to 10 lakhs, you can participate in NCD-IPO online and pay via UPI. UPI integration reduces manual interventions at many stages hence applying via UPI is more reliable. 

Note:

Bonds and Debentures are both debt securities offering fixed returns. Government entities issue bonds, whereas corporates issue debentures. Both bonds and debentures behave in the same way. Generally, bonds and debentures are collectively addressed as “Bonds.”

Step 1 Of NCD IPO Investment- Select Product

Click on the issuer (company) in which you want to invest in. You will land on the Product Page. On the Product page, you can see the details about the issue and issuer that will help you make investment decisions. 

Here you can find the Credit Rating and Debit Quality of the issue. Credit rating indicates the safety of the instrument. AAA to BBB-rated instruments are considered safer than others. 

Secured NCDs are NCDs that are collateralized by an issuer’s asset or future cash flows. If the issuer defaults, then investors can claim the asset or the cash flow generating source. Senior NCDs are paid before Junior NCDs. Listed NCDs enjoy few tax benefits. All these details you will find then under Debit Quality.

Under issuer details, you can find the synopsis about the Company’s history, business operations, and financial performance. 

Here is a calculator to determine the difference in the returns earned from bonds and FD. You have to select the bank from the drop-down menu. The FD rate of the selected bank will be considered for comparison. The calculator provides both pre-tax and post-tax returns.  

Step 2 Of NCD IPO Investment – Decide the investment amount

The maximum application amount is two lakhs, and every individual can submit a maximum of 5 applications in a given IPO. When the investment amount crosses two lakhs, the investment is divided into a suitable number of applications. For every two lakhs, a newer application will be generated. 

Investment amount= Units X Face Value

Once you select the number of units, the investment amount is calculated and displayed. 

Mention the contact details and get them verified. Once contact details are verified, you can see green ticks. Click on <Continue> to go to the payment page.
