About this bond
L&T FINANCE LIMITED 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 9.35% and matures on 13 Mar 2029, a remaining tenure of about 2.5 yr. It is rated AAA, the highest credit-safety grade. GripInvest lists this bond with a minimum investment of ₹1K.
Its 7.5% yield is on the conservative side, toward the lower end at 257th of 265 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. It yields only about 0.85 points over a comparable SBI fixed deposit (6.65%), so weigh the extra credit risk carefully. Its short 2.5 yr horizon locks the rate for only a few years, limiting reinvestment risk. Paired with its highest safety (AAA) rating, that leans toward the safety-first end. Compare it against similar bonds on RightBonds before investing.

Bond details
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 2.5 yr.
| Your tax slab | Post-tax yield | ₹1,00,000 becomes |
|---|---|---|
| No tax (income under the exemption limit) | 7.50% | ₹1,19,831 |
| 5% slab | 7.13% | ₹1,18,788 |
| 20% slab | 6.00% | ₹1,15,692 |
| 30% slab | 5.25% | ₹1,13,655 |
At a 9.35% coupon, ₹1,00,000 of face value pays about ₹9,350 of interest a year, under the ₹10,000 Section 193 threshold, so no TDS is withheld.
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
Same ₹1,00,000, same 2.5 years, one in this bond and one in a tenure-matched SBI fixed deposit at 6.65%.
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 AAA credit risk is the reason for the gap.
