Indian Railway Finance Corporation (IRFC)'s tax-free bonds raise 300 cr

Corpn Plans To Raise 1,000 Crore, Bonds Offer Pre-Tax Yield Of 9.68% For 7 Years


THE tax-free bonds of Indian Railway Finance Corporation (IRFC) received bids of over 300 crore on the very first day after it opened for subscription on Monday, according to distributors of the bonds. IRFC plans to raise 1,000 crore through the offering and could also consider an unspecified green shoe option through private placement. The bond issue will be open for subscription till December 3.


The decent response to the issue comes amid tight liquidity conditions in the system, with banks borrowing over 1 lakh crore through the Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) auctions.


The pre-tax annualised yield works out to 9.68% for a seven-year tenor and 10.30% in 10-year tenor for banks and corporates at the tax rate of 33.66%. For individuals, the pre-tax annualised yield (tax rate of 30.90%) will work out to be 9.30% in the seven-year tenure and 9.89% in the 10-year tenure. It offers a premium over the AAA-rated corporate bonds of same maturity.


The premium spread is a huge 150-155 basis points in the 10-year maturity and around 65 basis points for the five-year maturity on a pretax basis compared with AAA-rated PSU bonds.


Secured, non-convertible, redeemable, taxfree bonds in the nature of promissory notes will have a tenure of five years, seven years and 10 years with a coupon rate of 6.05%, 6.32% and 6.72%, respectively, on a semi-annual basis. Bonds will not have any put or call option and the allotment will be done on a day-priority basis.


Barclays, HSBC, Deutsche Bank, Almondz, Standard Chartered, and SBI Capital Markets are among the 15 arrangers to the issue. The minimum subscription for the tax-free bonds is 1 lakh.


IRFC is raising money from the market to part-finance the plan outlay of Indian Railways. Every financial year, IRFC raises funds by borrowing in the market for meeting its financing needs. Banks, FIs, insurance companies, MFs and resident individuals can apply for these bonds, while Hindu undivided firms, partnership firms, overseas corporate bodies and FIIs cannot invest.

Debt Mutual Fund Dividends are Taxable

DDT is deducted when a non-equity fund declares dividends. Equity and balanced fund dividends are tax-free The AMC is correct to deduct the dividend distribution tax (DDT) as it is mandated by tax laws. DDT in mutual funds is deducted every time a non-equity fund declares dividends. Equity fund and balanced fund dividends are tax-free . It is possible that you have invested in a non-equity fund for the first time or have received the dividend under a non-equity fund for the first time. That is why this is the first occasion when you have come across DDT.   The rate at which non-equity schemes deduct DDT has also gone up after the July 2014 budget. This is due to a change in calculation methodology. Earlier, if the fund has to declare a dividend of R 100, it used to make a provision for R 128.3, paying R 28.3 to the taxman and distributing the balance to the investor. This allowed the investor to bear less tax since the effective tax rate was 22.07 per ce...
