Face value of one unit of the infrastructure bond is Rs. 5000.

The lock in period of the bond is 5 years and after 5 years the investor can redeem the bond by using buy back option. But the bond guarantees 9% interest.

Investment Option: The IDFC infrastructure bond is available in annual interest payment option and cumulative interest payment option and both the options are available in buy back option after 5 years, even though the maturity period is ten years for both the interest payment options.

How to Invest: You can buy IDFC infrastructure bond online and also can submit the filled up downloaded forms in collection centers.

Tax Benefit & Tax Liability: The investment up to Rs. 20000 in IDFC infrastructure bond is exempted from Income tax under section 80CCF over Rs. 100000 under section 80C. The interest earned from Infrastructure bond is taxable. In annual interest option the interest will be taxable every year and in compound interest option the margin is taxable under capital gain tax.

Ratings: The ICRA & Fitch rating of the IDFC infrastructure bond is AAA.

The new issue of IDFC infrastructure bond is convenient to invest in and it is more beneficial than other issues of infrastructure bond by providing a slight difference in interest rate of 9%. But now the interest rate of bank deposits also higher than earlier. So the response of investors is not sure right now and can confirm only after closing the issue on 16th December, 2011.

The funds that base their equity allocation on market valuation have given stable returns in the past. Pick these if you are a buy-and-forget investor. Small investors are often victims of greed and fear. When markets are rising, greed makes the small investor increase his exposure to stocks.

Their allocation to equity is not based on the fund manager's outlook for the market, but on its valuations.

How to generate a UAN Online

Best SIP Funds Online   In order to make Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) accounts portable, the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) had launched the facility of Universal Account Number (UAN ) in 2014. Having a UAN is now mandatory if you have an EPF account and are contributing to it. So far, you got this number from your employer and every time you changed jobs, you had to furnish this number to the new employer.  However, in order to make it easier for you to get a UAN , and without your employer's intervention, the EPFO now allows you to go online and generate a UAN on your own. This facility can be used by freshers, or new employees, who are joining the workforce as well as by employees who have older EPF accounts but do not have a UAN as yet. As a new employee, you can simply generate a UAN and provide the number to your employer at the time of joining, when you need to fill up forms for your EPF contribution. As per a circula...

Reliance Regular Savings Fund - Debt Option

Reliance Regular Savings Fund - Invest Online     The scheme aims to generate optimal returns consistent with moderate levels of risk. It will invest atleast 65 per cent of its assets in debt instruments with maturity of more than 1 year and the rest in money market instruments (including cash or call money and reverse repo) and debentures with maturity of less than 1 year. The exposure in government securities will generally not exceed 50 percent of the assets. The fund uses a mix of relatively low portfolio duration with active investments in higher-yielding corporate bonds. It does not take aggressive duration calls but tries to improve returns by cherry-picking corporate bonds. This is reflected in the fund's returns matching the category and benchmark for five years - at 8.4 per cent - but lagging behind the category during a raging bull market in bonds in the last one year. The fund has been a consistent but not chart-topping performer in the income category. Despite its ...
