NTPC tax free bonds 2015

The tax-free bond market is alive again, with NTPC hitting the street with a Rs 1,000 crore issue that opens later this week. For retail investors, the interest rates are 7.36% for 10-year bonds, 7.53% for 15-year bonds and 7.62% for 20-year bonds. These bonds are a good option for investors who want guaranteed tax-free returns. Since FD interest is taxed at marginal rates, it makes sense for investors to shift a part of their FD investments to these tax-free bonds. In the 30.9% tax bracket, the effective yield from these bonds will range from 10.65% (10-year bond) to 11.03% (20-year bond).

Investors can also gain from the fall in interest rate in the short term. Tax free bonds issued in 2013-14 at coupon rates of 8.7-9% are now trading 15-20% higher than their issue price even after paying out tax-free interest. The issue will be open from 23 to 30 September, but could close early if the response is good. As the issue size is `1,000 crore, invest on day 1 or 2
