What is NCD?
NCD is a fixed income instrument Apart from taking bank loans Corporates, NBFCs raise money through issuing debentures. It is a financial instrument issued by corporates to support their business needs. There are two type of debentures, convertible debentures and non-convertible debenture. Convertible debentures are unsecured bonds and can be converted into equities or stocks at a future date as specified by the issuer.

NCD is financial instrument used for taking loan from the financial market. It cannot be converted into equity shares of the issuer in a future date, hence it offers higher interest rate. The NCD offers atleast 1.5 – 2% higher interest than any fixed deposit by a reputed bank and company deposits. NCDs come in both secured and unsecure form, secured #NCDs are backed by assets. Unsecured NCDs entails higher risk.

Added Edge

Points for the new investors

2. Like any other IPO, it has a NCD comes with opening and closing dates
3. NCD offers coupon rate. Coupon rate is the interest rate paid on a bond by its issuer for the term of the security. For example, if a NCD issue comes with a face value of Rs. 100 and coupon rate 10%, the interest earned will be Rs. 10 per annum. However, in the tenure if the NAV price falls or surge, it will have no impact on the interest pay out, it will continue as Rs. 10 per year throughout the tenure. Hence, coupon rate is fixed on the offer price and continue through maturity 
4. Check for the credit rating allotted by #ICRA, #CRISIL, #CARE (triple A rating Suggest good financial health of the issuer, double A may give higher coupon rate, triple A ensures safety of your capital)
