How to calculate bond yield when no interests are paid?

These series differ by two factors – buyback option, and payment of interest.

We looked at the buyback option and how it affects bond yield earlier, and now let's look at payment of interest. One series pays out interest annually, whereas the other series doesn't pay out any interest annually, but rather pays a lump-sum at the end of the time period.

Let's first look at the yield for the series that pays a lump-sum.

You already know what your effective purchase price is, and you also know what you will get at the end of the time period, so all you need to do is to plug in these numbers in the Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) Calculator and see what the yield is.

Conceptually you are saying that if I start out with Rs. 3,455 (30.9% tax rate) then what is the rate of interest at which I should invest this sum, and also the interest earned every year, so that I reach at the amount at the end – Rs. 7,180 (series 4 example).

Here is how that table looks like.

The post about CAGR also details how it is calculated, so you can read more there.

In future to calculate any bond yield where there are no annual interest payments look for these elements:

  • Face Value
  • Tax Bracket
  • Effective purchase price
  • Time in years
  • Buyback amount

Then use effective purchase rate, time and buyback amount in the CAGR calculator to find out the yield.

How Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) works?

    THE tax season is here. And if you are an employee you can't blame your employer for deducting large chunks of money from your salary towards tax deducted at source ( TDS ), which he is legally obliged to do. Your bank will also deduct some percentage from your FD interest of Rs 10,000 or more towards TDS! So what is this TDS all about? How is it computed? Are there any changes this year? Read on... What is TDS? TDS reduces your taxable income and could even provide tax relief! The TDS collections account for 40 percent of the total taxes collected in the country. As the name suggests TDS is the amount of tax that is deducted at source in certain types of income . The TDS thus collected is deposited in the Government treasury within a specified time. How is it computed? Some of the types of income where TDS is applicable include salary, interest, rental fee, interest on securities, insurance commission, dividends from shares and UTI/Mutual Funds, commission and brokerage

Modern day balanced mutual fund approach

Buy Gold Mutual Funds Invest Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India)   In reality, most balanced funds have a strong tilt towards equity instead of a mix of equity and debt THERE are various types of mutual funds available to investors with specific features. Often investors have a particular idea about a specific type of funds in terms of their features and risks, but that is not what is actually available. Therefore, it is necessary for an investor to understand the actual position before picking up a fund. This requires some work on the part of the investor. One example can be the situation with balanced funds. Name is not representative: One of the first things that an investor has to understand is that the name of the fund is often not representative of its investment pattern. The name often represents only the aim of the fund, and not what it actually is.
