About this bond

Fibe (EarlySalary) is a corporate bond issued by a company to raise debt from investors, currently offering a yield to maturity (YTM) of 7.5%. It pays a coupon of 10.9% and matures on 4 Jan 2027, a remaining tenure of about 2 mo. It is rated A-, an adequate credit-safety grade. WintWealth lists this bond with a minimum investment of ₹1.0L.

Its 7.5% yield is on the conservative side, toward the lower end at 316th of 319 Corporate bonds. That trails the Corporate median of 10.50% by 3.00 points, so the trade-off is lower yield for whatever else this issuer offers. A comparable SBI fixed deposit yields about 5.15%, so this bond adds roughly 2.35 points for taking on credit risk. Its short 2 mo horizon locks the rate for only a few years, limiting reinvestment risk. Paired with its high safety (A-) rating, that leans toward the safety-first end. Compare it against similar bonds on RightBonds before investing.

What you keep after tax

Interest on a listed corporate bond is added to your income and taxed at your slab, so the 7.5% headline is a pre-tax number. Here is the same bond seen from each slab, on ₹1,00,000 held for the remaining 2 mo.

Your tax slabPost-tax yield₹1,00,000 becomes
No tax (income under the exemption limit) 7.50% ₹1,01,514
5% slab 7.13% ₹1,01,441
20% slab 6.00% ₹1,01,218
30% slab 5.25% ₹1,01,069

At a 10.9% coupon, ₹1,00,000 of face value pays about ₹10,900 of interest a year. That is over the ₹10,000 Section 193 threshold, so roughly ₹1,090 a year is withheld as TDS - adjustable against your final liability, not an extra tax.

Slab rates only - surcharge and cess are not included, and the figures assume you hold to maturity. Sold on the exchange after 12 months instead, the gain is taxed as long-term capital gains at 12.5%. Not tax advice.

Against a fixed deposit, in rupees

Bond figure compounds the yield annually; the FD compounds quarterly, as a cumulative bank FD does. Both are pre-tax and assume the bond is held to maturity and the issuer pays in full - the A- credit risk is the reason for the gap.

When you get paid

Interest lands every month, with about 4 payments still to come before 4 Jan 2027, each at the 10.9% coupon rate.

Payment months come from the issuer's schedule. Exact dates within the month, and the amount per payment, depend on the face value of the units you buy - check the term sheet on WintWealth before investing.
