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 13.25%. It pays a coupon of 12.8% and matures on 7 May 2028, a remaining tenure of about 1.7 yr. It is rated BBB, a moderate credit-safety grade. GoldenPi lists this bond with a minimum investment of ₹30K.

Its 13.25% yield is among the highest we track, placing it 17th of the 265 Corporate bonds on RightBonds - firmly in the top tier. That is 2.75 percentage points above the Corporate median of 10.50% - a clear yield premium over the typical peer. Against a tenure-matched SBI fixed deposit (6.50%), it pays roughly 6.75 points more - a large gap that only makes sense once you are comfortable with the issuer's credit. Its short 1.7 yr 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 Akara (INE08XP07498) at 12.5%, Akara (INE08XP07522) at 13.75% and Regency Fincorp (INE964R07135) at 14.5%.

What you keep after tax

Interest on a listed corporate bond is added to your income and taxed at your slab, so the 13.25% headline is a pre-tax number. Here is the same bond seen from each slab, on ₹1,00,000 held for the remaining 1.7 yr.

Your tax slabPost-tax yield₹1,00,000 becomes
No tax (income under the exemption limit) 13.25% ₹1,22,833
5% slab 12.59% ₹1,21,648
20% slab 10.60% ₹1,18,119
30% slab 9.27% ₹1,15,789

At a 12.8% coupon, ₹1,00,000 of face value pays about ₹12,800 of interest a year. That is over the ₹10,000 Section 193 threshold, so roughly ₹1,280 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 1.7 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 BBB credit risk is the reason for the gap.
