Overview Of Bonds
Bonds are fixed-income debt instruments issued by governments, corporations, municipalities, and other entities to raise capital for various projects, operations, and activities. When you invest in a bond, you are essentially lending money to the issuer in exchange for periodic interest payments (called coupon payments) and the return of your principal amount at maturity.
The mechanics of bond investing are straightforward. A bond issuer borrows capital from bondholders and agrees to repay the loan at a predetermined date (maturity date) along with interest. Most bonds offer a fixed interest rate, typically paid semiannually, though some bonds pay interest annually, quarterly, or monthly.
Types Of Bonds
54EC
54EC bonds, also known as capital gains bonds, are a fixed-income investment in India that allows taxpayers to claim an exemption on long-term capital gains from the sale of land or buildings. These bonds are issued by government-backed public sector entities and are governed by Section 54EC of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
State Bonds
State bonds are debt securities issued by state governments to raise funds for various public projects, such as infrastructure, schools, and hospitals, or to cover budget deficits. When you buy a state bond, you are essentially lending money to the government, which, in turn, agrees to pay you back the principal amount plus periodic interest payments (coupons). In India, these bonds are known as State Development Loans (SDLs).
Corporate Bonds
Corporate bonds are debt instruments issued by corporations to raise capital. When you buy a corporate bond, you are lending money to the company. In return, the company promises to pay you back the principal on a specified maturity date and to make regular interest payments, known as coupon payments,
RBI/Govt Bonds
RBI bonds are a low-risk investment option issued by the Reserve Bank of India on behalf of the Indian government to raise funds. They are designed for individual investors and are a safe way to earn interest, with the Floating Rate Savings Bonds being a prominent type that offers a variable interest rate linked to the National Saving Certificate (NSC) rate.

Why Invest In Bonds?
Stable and Predictable Income
Bonds, also known as "fixed-income" securities, typically provide a fixed, predictable income stream through regular interest payments, known as "coupon payments".
Capital Preservation
If you hold a bond until its maturity date, the issuer is obligated to repay the full principal, or face value, of the bond.
Diversification
Bonds often have an inverse relationship with stocks, meaning that when stock prices fall, bond prices may rise, and vice versa. This makes bonds an effective way to diversify your portfolio and reduce overall risk during periods of stock market volatility.
Tax Advantages
Some types of bonds offer favorable tax treatment.
