A bond is an instrument evidencing indebtedness. They are generally issued by any government or government sponsored institution, company, municipality, etc. A bond investor lends money to the issuer and in exchange, the issuer promises to repay the loan amount on a specified maturity date. The issuer usually pays the bond holder periodic interest payments over the life of the loan.

There are various types of bonds available in the market depending on the issuer. Bonds issued by the central government of India are called government securities of G-Secs while those issued by state governments are called state development loans or SDLs. Additionally, there are bonds issued by public sector institutions referred to as PSU bonds, those issued by private institutions including banks referred to as non-convertible debentures (NCDs). There are several other types of bonds as well such as muni-bonds (issued by municipal corporations), state guaranteed bonds, etc.

There is a wide variety of bonds available in the market. While G-Secs & SDLs are considered sovereign & quasi-sovereign having the lowest risk, there are bonds in the market that are secured by the issuer through multiple covenants and collateral making them less risky. For investors chasing very high returns, there are unsecured bonds which offer higher returns with moderate-high risk.

While there are tax-free bonds available in the market, most of the bonds available are generally taxed as per the standard taxation rules of the government for investment in securities.

Coupon is essentially the fixed, periodic interest payment received by the investor from the issuer of the bond. It is calculated as a percentage of the bond’s face value and remains fixed for the entire tenure of the bond.

The difference between Yield to Maturity (YTM) and Yield to Call (YTC) is that Yield to Maturity (YTM) is the total amount received by a person after maturity while Yield to Call (YTC) is a form of callable bond which can be paid off early by the person. Yield to put is the yield a bondholder gets by holding it until it is able to sell it back to the issuer. Bondholders in this type of bonds receive a lower expected coupon rate or yield to put, because they are able to sell it back to the issuer and reinvest their capital elsewhere (at higher rates).

The amount of interest earned on bond but not received is called accrued interest. When buying bonds in the secondary market, the buyer will have to pay accrued interest to the seller as part of the total purchase price. An investor that purchases a bond sometime between the last coupon payment and the next coupon payment will receive the full interest on the scheduled coupon payment date given that they will be the bondholder of record. However, since the buyer did not earn all of the interest accrued over this period, they must pay the bond seller the portion of the interest that the seller earned before selling the bond.

Premium and discount refer to the price of a bond and can often mean the difference between a gain and a loss on your investment. Instead, a premium bond is one trading above its face value and a discount bond is one trading below its face value.

When you sell a bond after holding a couple of years or before maturity, you may get more or less than you paid for it. If interest rates have risen since the bond was purchased, its value might have declined. If rates have declined, the bond's value might have increased which enables the investor to realize a capital gain. However, these changes in price are negligible unless there is a very significant change in interest rates.

Yes, investor will get the interest for the holding period of the bond if they sell it before interest payment date. This is also called accrued interest.

As per NSDL and CDSL policy, the interest payments and maturity proceeds will be directly credited to the investor’s bank account through electronic mode.

As the securities are being held in the Demat account and all Demat accounts of investors are linked to investor’s bank account automatically. Hence, the issuer of the bond has all details about the investor through NSDL or CDSL account. The payment of coupon and the payment of maturity are paid directly to the bank account of the investor.

The investments offered by Sovereign Global are liquid in nature. Therefore, if in case there is some requirement of urgent liquidity, the investor can always sell the security in the secondary market before maturity. Sovereign Global will help the investors to exit and liquidate the investment in the market so that any emergency fund needs are met.

Bonds and FDs are both low-risk securities. Still, you should choose Bonds over Fixed Deposits because : Bonds provide higher interest returns than FDs. Bonds are tradable, but FDs are not. Bonds offer more diverse tax benefits than FDs, including the potential for savings on capital gains in addition to tax benefits on interest income.

The bonds can be bought both online and offline through registered intermediaries as well through RBI.

The requirements to invest in bonds are as follows: Passport photograph, Pan card, Address proof, Cancelled cheque, Demat CMR.

A Demat account is short form of Dematerialized account. It is a trading account where all your investments are deposited. Since acquiring a physical copy every time you sell or purchase is not possible, a Demat account keeps track of all your activities as an investor. It converts securities from physical to digital form.

A Demat account is not mandatory to purchase a sovereign bond. However, holding your securities in a Demat account makes selling easy. The investment market is growing as we speak, hence it is not possible to have a physical copy of all your investments and transactions. Therefore, Demat account prevents hassles and gives you a digital lay down of your investments in one place.

Managing a Demat account is a chargeable service. However, there are services like National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) or Central Depository Services Limited (CDSL) that offer a free Demat account.

For Bonds and Debentures, usually the units are transferred to your Demat account on the same day when the RTGS is done. In some cases, it may take up to maximum of 3 working days. For Corporate Fixed Deposits, it usually requires a couple of weeks to process the application and issue the FD certificate.

The bonds can be sold in the secondary market among investors before the date of maturity through Sovereign Global. There are factors that determine the price of the bond at the time of sale, such as the interest rate in the market. If the interest is high, the market value of the bond will fall. Likewise, if the interest rate falls, the market value will be high.
