What are government securities in India?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/government-securities\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Government securities<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are debt instruments offered by a central and state government. In case of a deficit in revenue, a government can pool the needed amount by offering securities to the public instead of opting for a loan from the bank. The government backing makes the securities highly secure, and the steady interest generations ensure steady returns.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_What_are_state_government_guaranteed_bonds\"><\/span><b>2. What are state government guaranteed bonds?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a state owned enterprise of SOE, like a food corporation or an oil corporation, issues bonds to collect funds for their operations or developmental projects, these are called state government guaranteed bonds. The interest rates are fixed and are generated in the form of period coupon payments.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Are_state_government_guaranteed_bonds_safe\"><\/span><b>3. Are state government guaranteed bonds safe?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The state government guaranteed bonds have the assurance of the respective state government. In case of any unwanted scenario, the state government will take responsibility for returning the investment amount to the bondholders. So, the risk of default here is quite low.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_What_are_the_taxation_regulations_for_state_government_guaranteed_bonds\"><\/span><b>4.

Two types of tax are levied on them &#8211; tax on interest and tax on capital gains.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The interest accumulated under the bonds is considered \u2018income from other sources\u2019 and taxed as per individual tax slab rates.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there is any capital appreciation, for example, if the bond is sold before maturity with a profit, it will be subject to tax. If a bond held for less than 3 years generates capital gains, it will be charged with STCG tax, which is as per tax slab rates. When held for over 3 years, long term capital gain (LTCG) tax will be levied at 10% (without indexation) or 20% (with indexation).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_How_do_I_evaluate_the_safety_of_state_government_bonds\"><\/span><b>5.
