About this bond

Progfin is a corporate bond issued by a company to raise debt from investors, currently offering a yield to maturity (YTM) of 9.5%. It pays a coupon of 10% and matures on 21 Apr 2027, a remaining tenure of about 6 mo. It is rated BBB+, a moderate credit-safety grade. WintWealth lists this bond with a minimum investment of ₹1.0L.

Its 9.5% yield is solid for its risk band, sitting 207th of 315 comparable Corporate bonds. That trails the Corporate median of 10.40% by 0.90 points, so the trade-off is lower yield for whatever else this issuer offers. Against a tenure-matched SBI fixed deposit (5.15%), it pays roughly 4.35 points more - a large gap that only makes sense once you are comfortable with the issuer's credit. Its short 6 mo 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.

About Progfin

Progfin Private Limited is the lending arm of the Progcap group, a wholly owned subsidiary that began operations only in October 2022. It does anchor-led supply chain finance: rather than lending to consumers, it funds dealers and distributors against their trade with a larger anchor company, across two-wheelers, agricultural inputs, white goods, FMCG and newer consumer brands. Dealer financing is about two-thirds of the book and working capital term loans the rest. The target customer is the MSME retailer in tier-2 cities and smaller towns, reached through the Progcap network of more than 31,500 active borrowers. The group has raised roughly Rs 800 crore of equity since inception, giving a net worth of Rs 739 crore and managed gearing of 1.9 times. Profit after tax was Rs 12 crore in FY25 on total income of Rs 258 crore. This is a young lender with a short track record through a full credit cycle.

What you keep after tax

Interest on a listed corporate bond is added to your income and taxed at your slab, so the 9.5% headline is a pre-tax number. Here is the same bond seen from each slab, on ₹1,00,000 held for the remaining 6 mo.

Your tax slabPost-tax yield₹1,00,000 becomes
No tax (income under the exemption limit) 9.50% ₹1,04,494
5% slab 9.03% ₹1,04,275
20% slab 7.60% ₹1,03,612
30% slab 6.65% ₹1,03,168

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 0.5 years, one in this bond and one in a tenure-matched SBI fixed deposit at 5.15%.

Fixed deposit at 5.15%₹1,02,510
Difference+₹1,985

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 7 payments still to come before 21 Apr 2027, 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 WintWealth before investing.
