Government bonds can be purchased from as low as ₹1,000 (face value). Corporate bonds typically start at ₹10,000. Fixed Deposits have varying minimums — bank FDs start at ₹1,000 while corporate FDs may require ₹5,000 or more.
Government bonds carry sovereign guarantee and are among the safest instruments. Corporate bonds depend on the issuer's credit rating — AAA-rated bonds are highly safe. Fixed Deposits from banks are insured up to ₹5 lakhs by DICGC. Overall, bonds and FDs carry lower risk than equity mutual funds.
Interest income from most bonds and FDs is taxable as per your income tax slab. However, tax-free bonds (issued by government entities like NHAI, REC, IRFC) offer completely tax-free interest. Capital gains on listed bonds held over 12 months qualify for LTCG benefits.
Listed bonds can be sold on stock exchanges anytime during market hours. Government bonds are also tradable on exchanges. FDs allow premature withdrawal with a small penalty (typically 0.5-1% reduction in interest rate).
