Should one invest?
This NCD looks like an appealing income opportunity, however, it's crucial for potential investors to weigh the pros and cons before committing their funds. The credit rating is an indicator of safety, which is paramount in investments. Additionally, the offered interest rates are competitive compared to similar-rated NCD issues, providing potential for decent returns.
However, it's important to understand that all NCD issues, even those with decent ratings, carry some degree of credit risk. It's essential to acknowledge this risk, as past instances have shown that even highly rated NCDs can default.
Additionally, NCDs may not be as liquid as other investment options, like stocks and fixed deposits. This means selling NCDs before maturity could be challenging. Also, investors should be mindful of taxation, as interest earned on these instruments is taxed at the income tax slab rate.
