Bonds have gained a lot of traction among individual investors in India owing to their availability on online investment portals and digital bond markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you are relatively new to <a href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/\">investing in bonds<\/a>, you must be thinking \u2013 how exactly are bonds purchased?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry, buying bonds is now very easy as compared to a few years back. Here is everything you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_Bonds\"><\/span><strong>What are Bonds?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us first get familiar with what bonds are before going ahead with knowing how bonds can be bought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bonds are fixed-income instruments wherein the investor lends money to the issuer, who could be a corporation, financial institution, Public Sector Undertaking or Government entity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In turn, the issuer commits to making interest payments (called <a href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/essentials\/bond-market\/what-is-coupon\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"8973\">coupon payments<\/a>) and returning the principal amount as per the terms of the bond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In essence, when buying a bond, one lends money rather than becoming a shareholder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_Can_You_Buy_Bonds_in_India\"><\/span><strong>Where Can You Buy Bonds in India?&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In today\u2019s world, there are many ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/investment-options\/list-view\">invest in bonds<\/a> for retail investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many ways, such as the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Investing in bonds online <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stock brokers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bond marketplaces<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Direct bond issuance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Securities bought via stock exchanges<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The majority of bonds that get listed can be easily invested in Demat accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2

class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 1: Opening of Demat and Trading Account<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While purchasing any listed bond, one will have to maintain a <a href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/investment-guide\/strategy\/what-is-a-demat-account\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"10784\">Demat account.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Demat account is used for keeping your investments in electronic form, while a trading account helps in buying and selling the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These accounts are usually maintained by many people via stock brokers or investment platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2: Finish your KYC<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you start making investments, you must complete the <a href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/investment-guide\/what-is-kyc-importance-and-benefits-of-kyc\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"14348\">Know Your Customer<\/a> (KYC) procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These documents will be required:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>PAN card<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aadhaar card or other identity proof<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proof of address<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bank account
