About this bond
Arka Fincap Dec ’28 is a corporate bond issued by a company to raise debt from investors, currently offering a yield to maturity (YTM) of 8.6%. It pays a coupon of 10% and matures on 27 Dec 2028, a remaining tenure of about 2.3 yr. It is rated AA, a high credit-safety grade. BondScanner lists this bond with a minimum investment of ₹1K.
Its 8.6% yield is solid for its risk band, toward the lower end at 219th of 265 Corporate bonds. That trails the Corporate median of 10.50% by 1.90 points, so the trade-off is lower yield for whatever else this issuer offers. A comparable SBI fixed deposit yields about 6.65%, so this bond adds roughly 1.95 points for taking on credit risk. Its short 2.3 yr horizon locks the rate for only a few years, limiting reinvestment risk. Paired with its very high safety (AA) rating, that leans toward the safety-first end.

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 8.6% headline is a pre-tax number. Here is the same bond seen from each slab, on ₹1,00,000 held for the remaining 2.3 yr.
| Your tax slab | Post-tax yield | ₹1,00,000 becomes |
|---|---|---|
| No tax (income under the exemption limit) | 8.60% | ₹1,20,830 |
| 5% slab | 8.17% | ₹1,19,735 |
| 20% slab | 6.88% | ₹1,16,486 |
| 30% slab | 6.02% | ₹1,14,347 |
At a 10% coupon, ₹1,00,000 of face value pays about ₹10,000 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 2.3 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 AA credit risk is the reason for the gap.
When you get paid
Interest lands once a year, in Dec, with about 3 payments still to come before 27 Dec 2028, each at the 10% 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 BondScanner before investing.
