Government bonds are a versatile investment tool, offering various options to suit different investor needs. Whether you’re looking for fixed returns, inflation protection, or gold-linked investments, there’s a government bond for you.
Let’s explore the different types of government bonds available in India:-
These bonds offer a fixed interest rate throughout the investment tenure, making them ideal for investors seeking predictable returns.
FRBs have interest rates that are periodically adjusted based on market conditions. Some FRBs combine a base rate with a fixed spread, determined through auctions.
SGBs allow you to invest in gold without holding physical gold. The bond’s price is linked to the market price of gold, and interest is paid semi-annually at 2.50%.
Example: If Mr. A invested in an SGB on 1st April 2014, interest disbursals would occur on 1st May 2014 and every six months thereafter. If he decides to redeem the bond on 1st June 2019, he would need to wait until 1st November 2019 (the next interest disbursal date) to receive the redemption amount.
IIBs protect your investment from inflation by adjusting both the principal and interest payments based on inflation indices like the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or Wholesale Price Index (WPI).
Introduced in 2018, these bonds offer a fixed interest rate of 7.75% and are available to individuals, HUFs, and minors (through guardians).
These bonds allow the issuer (government) to buy back the bond (call option) or the investor to sell it back (put option) after 5 years.
Zero-coupon bonds do not pay periodic interest. Instead, they are issued at a discount and redeemed at face value, with the difference representing the investor’s earnings.
