How this yield compares
About this bond
Purple Finance is a corporate bond issued by a company to raise debt from investors, currently offering a yield to maturity (YTM) of 11.85%. It pays a coupon of 11.9% and matures on 5 Dec 2028, a remaining tenure of about 2.3 yr. It is rated BBB-, a moderate credit-safety grade - the lowest investment-grade band. WintWealth lists this bond with a minimum investment of ₹10K.
Its 11.85% yield is well above the market average, placing it 37th of the 165 Corporate bonds on RightBonds - firmly in the top tier. That is 1.20 percentage points above the Corporate median of 10.65% - a clear yield premium over the typical peer. Against a tenure-matched SBI fixed deposit (6.65%), it pays roughly 5.20 points more - a large gap that only makes sense once you are comfortable with the issuer's credit. Its short 2.3 yr horizon locks the rate for only a few years, limiting reinvestment risk. Paired with its moderate safety (BBB-) rating, that leans toward the safety-first end. Compare it against similar bonds on RightBonds before investing.
Investors comparing this bond often also look at Unifinz Capital India (INE926R07043) at 15%, Monedo Financial Services (INE0I5X07067) at 14.25% and Cyqure India (INE0Z4807015) at 13.6%.
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 11.85% 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) | 11.85% | ₹1,29,991 |
| 5% slab | 11.26% | ₹1,28,384 |
| 20% slab | 9.48% | ₹1,23,631 |
| 30% slab | 8.29% | ₹1,20,520 |
At a 11.9% coupon, ₹1,00,000 of face value pays about ₹11,900 of interest a year. That is over the ₹10,000 Section 193 threshold, so roughly ₹1,190 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 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 BBB- credit risk is the reason for the gap.
When you get paid
Interest lands every month, with about 29 payments still to come before 5 Dec 2028, each at the 11.9% 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.
