About this bond
Muthoot Microfin is a corporate bond issued by a company to raise debt from investors, currently offering a yield to maturity (YTM) of 9.85%. It pays a coupon of 9.7% and matures on 3 Dec 2027, a remaining tenure of about 1.2 yr. It is rated AA-, a high credit-safety grade. WintWealth lists this bond with a minimum investment of ₹10K.
Its 9.85% yield is solid for its risk band, sitting 170th of 265 comparable Corporate bonds. That trails the Corporate median of 10.50% by 0.65 points, so the trade-off is lower yield for whatever else this issuer offers. Against a tenure-matched SBI fixed deposit (6.50%), it pays roughly 3.35 points more - a large gap that only makes sense once you are comfortable with the issuer's credit. Its short 1.2 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 9.85% headline is a pre-tax number. Here is the same bond seen from each slab, on ₹1,00,000 held for the remaining 1.2 yr.
| Your tax slab | Post-tax yield | ₹1,00,000 becomes |
|---|---|---|
| No tax (income under the exemption limit) | 9.85% | ₹1,12,204 |
| 5% slab | 9.36% | ₹1,11,588 |
| 20% slab | 7.88% | ₹1,09,743 |
| 30% slab | 6.89% | ₹1,08,516 |
At a 9.7% coupon, ₹1,00,000 of face value pays about ₹9,700 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 1.2 years, one in this bond and one in a tenure-matched SBI fixed deposit at 6.50%.
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 every month, with about 16 payments still to come before 3 Dec 2027, each at the 9.7% 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.
