Upon checking found that Yield -10.1% , coupon rate -8.30%.
If Yield is higher than coupon is it right to go through
You have raised a ticket and we have asked some details. Please respond through the ticket. Thanks

Is this positive one or negative one.
There have been news reports recently about rising NPA’s in micro finance. Also, the interest will be taxed at the slab rate assuming no/low liquidity.
Would it not be better to invest in an arbitrage or a relatively low risk taker equity savings fund?
Sure you can but these are fixed income products, arbitrage and equity savings are not.
Thanks for clarity.
Hello.
I need some clarity on applicable income tax. If I hold zero coupon bond till maturity and this holding period is greater than 1 year, will it be treated as LTCG and taxed at 12.5% or i need to sell before maturity after 1 year to avail 12.5% tax rate?
if it is notified like REC or NABARD then then it will e taxed as LTCG on maturity. Else you need to sell before maturity to avail 12.5% tax.
Vidya,
In some cases the issuer purchases the ZCB back say 2 months before maturity.
I suppose 12.5 LTCG applies in this managed sale / repurchase as well?
My understanding is in all buyback, it becomes a maturity so slab rate on gains may apply. I may be wrong. Best to check wit your auditor. Vidya
