Akara
How this yield compares
About this bond
Akara is a corporate bond issued by a company to raise debt from investors, currently offering a yield to maturity (YTM) of 13%. It pays a coupon of 12% and matures on 21 May 2027, a remaining tenure of about 10 mo. It is rated BBB, a moderate credit-safety grade. GripInvest lists this bond with a minimum investment of ₹10K.
Its 13% yield is among the highest we track, placing it 18th of the 175 Corporate bonds on RightBonds - firmly in the top tier. That is 2.25 percentage points above the Corporate median of 10.75% - a clear yield premium over the typical peer. Against a tenure-matched SBI fixed deposit (6.15%), it pays roughly 6.85 points more - a large gap that only makes sense once you are comfortable with the issuer's credit. Its short 10 mo horizon locks the rate for only a few years, limiting reinvestment risk. Paired with its moderate safety (BBB) rating, that is a higher-yield, higher-risk profile. Compare it against similar bonds on RightBonds before investing.
Investors comparing this bond often also look at Regency Fincorp (INE964R07101) at 14.5%, Best Capital (INE04UP07170) at 14% and BEST CAPITAL (INE04UP07212) at 13.75%.
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 13% headline is a pre-tax number. Here is the same bond seen from each slab, on ₹1,00,000 held for the remaining 10 mo.
| Your tax slab | Post-tax yield | ₹1,00,000 becomes |
|---|---|---|
| No tax (income under the exemption limit) | 13.00% | ₹1,10,316 |
| 5% slab | 12.35% | ₹1,09,806 |
| 20% slab | 10.40% | ₹1,08,272 |
| 30% slab | 9.10% | ₹1,07,247 |
At a 12% coupon, ₹1,00,000 of face value pays about ₹12,000 of interest a year. That is over the ₹10,000 Section 193 threshold, so roughly ₹1,200 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
Same ₹1,00,000, same 0.8 years, one in this bond and one in a tenure-matched SBI fixed deposit at 6.15%.
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 BBB credit risk is the reason for the gap.
