About this bond

Keertana is a corporate bond issued by a company to raise debt from investors, currently offering a yield to maturity (YTM) of 11.15%. It pays a coupon of 11.1% and matures on 19 Aug 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 11.15% yield is well above the market average, ranking 97th of 319 Corporate bonds we list. That is 0.65 percentage points above the Corporate median of 10.50% - a clear yield premium over the typical peer. Against a tenure-matched SBI fixed deposit (6.15%), it pays roughly 5.00 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 leans toward the safety-first end. Compare it against similar bonds on RightBonds before investing.

What you keep after tax

Interest on a listed corporate bond is added to your income and taxed at your slab, so the 11.15% 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 slabPost-tax yield₹1,00,000 becomes
No tax (income under the exemption limit) 11.15% ₹1,09,163
5% slab 10.59% ₹1,08,708
20% slab 8.92% ₹1,07,343
30% slab 7.80% ₹1,06,431

At a 11.1% coupon, ₹1,00,000 of face value pays about ₹11,100 of interest a year. That is over the ₹10,000 Section 193 threshold, so roughly ₹1,110 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.
