New IDFC Infrastructure Bond with 9% interest - Nov 2011

IDFC issues new Infrastructure bond suitable for Income Tax Exemption under section 80CCF with 9% annual interest and 10 years maturity period.  The issue of New IDFC (Infrastructure Development finance Company Ltd) infrastructure bond opens in the market on 21st November, 2011 and will be closed on 16th December, 2011. Face value of one unit of the infrastructure bond is Rs. 5000.

Maturity Period and Rate of Interest: There is only one maturity period of ten years for the bond with a buy back option after 5 years of the allotment of IDFC infrastructure bond. 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.

Maturity Value: The maturity value of the single unit of IDFC infrastructure bond is Rs. 11840 for cumulative interest option and Rs. 5000 is for annual interest payment option. But the buyback amount of annual interest payment option is Rs. 5000 and cumulative interest option is Rs. 7695 after 5 years of allotment of the bond.

Listing of IDFC infra bond: The IDFC infrastructure bond will be listed in NSE & BSE after 5 years lock in period

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.

NPS for Tax Saving

The NPS is a great way to save tax if you don't mind locking in your money till you retire. Till last year, the taxability of the NPS was a big issue. But last year's Budget changed the rules and made 40% of the corpus tax free. The PFRDA wants that the balance 60% to be exempt from tax as well. The emphasis is on increasing pension coverage. So, allowing EEE status (to NPS ) is our major demand (in the Budget NPS is especially useful for investors who may have exhausted the `1.5 lakh investment limit under Section 80C but want to save more.   Another way the NPS can cut tax is by rejigging the salary.If a company deposits up to 10% of the basic salary of an employee in the NPS under Section 80CCD(2d), the amount will be tax free.

Retirement planning from a long-term perspective

This title comes from a movie I had watched many years ago. A little boy's journey into adulthood and the story of a Welsh valley's turn of-the-century descent from pristine paradise to despoiled coal mining.   I thought of the title because it is comparatively reflective of a person's life ­ the glorious years when he is earning and the sun down years when he is not having his regular job and, hence, his living standards comes down. The reason is a combination of things. Inflation of food items, transport, increase in health related costs in the later years of life and increase in expenses in almost all basic amenities of life. In India, the social security system is almost non-existent. In some states, wherever it is available, the scales of benefits are extremely modest...

BANK FDs for Tax Saving

This is probably the easiest way to save tax if you have a Netbanking account . After the demonetisation and the digital push, almost everyone has one. A few clicks of the mouse and your tax planning is done. However, as mentioned earlier, this convenience comes at a very high cost. Interest rates have come down significantly and are close to 7-7.5% right now. The bigger problem is that the interest is fully taxable. It is added to the income of the investor and taxed at the marginal rate applicable to him. In the highest 30% tax bracket , the post-tax yield is close to 5%. Even so, tax-saving fixed deposits are suitable for risk averse investors, especially senior citizens who might already have hit the ` 15 lakh ceiling in the Senior Citizens' Saving Scheme and don't want to lock in money for the long term in a PPF account . Though NSCs offer higher rates than most banks, many senior citizens prefer to invest in deposits of their own banks, because they get better service ...
