The deposit placed by investors with different companies for a fixed time period & where the deposit carries a predefined rate of interest is called Company Fixed Deposit or Corporate Fixed Deposit. The Fixed Deposits made with the companies are documented in the form of paper receipts which is commonly known as Corporate FDRs (fixed deposit receipts). Financial institutions and Non-Banking Finance Companies (NBFCs) also accept such deposits. Fixed Deposits mobilised by the companies are governed by the Companies Act under Section 58A but these deposits are unsecured, i.e., if the company defaults, as an investor you cannot sell the receipt / document to recover your investment amount.
Companies issue Non Convertible Debentures (NCDs) & Fixed Deposit Receipts (FDRs) both. NCD is more of a tradable investment instrument which combines the features of shares as well as fixed deposits. Company FDRs are more like the fixed deposits with banks, the primary difference being that bank FDs are secured and hence much safer to invest. The key differences between FDRs & NCDs are :
Though Corporate FDRs carry some amount of risk but it doesn't mean that they are not a good investment option. If the company which is issuing collecting the deposit is high on the credit rating, there are several advantages of investing in a Corporate FDs.
