    Hello Mr. Sandeep,

    I may have posted this earlier, no idea. The fact remains as under,
    even those who are not taxable will not invest, forget 10% bracket.

    The fixed rate is 1.5%.

    It makes no sense in investing in IINSS-C bonds. [inflation indexed national saving securities – cumulative].

    Taxes deflate inflation bonds. Interest will be taxable as ‘income from other sources’ not as ‘capital gains’ even if entire amount is received on maturity. [actually taxable each year unless investor opts for receipt basis.]
    Tax rate as per the investors tax slab.

    So FinMin [& CBDT] should move in to neutralize tax effect with further indexation as on maturity it will be treated as capital gains.

    If the FinMin idiotic view is ‘there can’t be -‘indexation on indexation’! wrong.

    As of now sovereign wealth funds have shunned Indian tax free bonds! In spite of all the roadshows!?
    [Bonds of IRFC, IIFCL, NHAI, PFC, HUDCO, RECL] – 8.9% coupon rate offered.

    IINSS-C bonds should be on par with other capital indexed bonds. Inflation indexed does not mean capital indexed.

    On 5,000/- investment, 10% inflation, 30% slab, post tax return will be 7.94% i.e Rs 397.32/-

    Who would venture in these bond & lock for min 3yrs? [sr.citizens 1yr]

    The fixed rate should be min 2.50% if not 3.0%.

    OK we move from inflation bonds for the time being.

    RBI’s inflation comfort rate is 5%. Argument, it achieves in a year’s time, pre tax returns on bonds will be 6.5%, will FD rates be >4%?

    No sane person will touch these bonds.

    Regards,
