About this bond

MAS Financial Services Sep ’28 is a corporate bond issued by a company to raise debt from investors, currently offering a yield to maturity (YTM) of 9.21%. It pays a coupon of 8.55% and matures on 24 Sept 2028, a remaining tenure of about 1.9 yr. It is rated AA-, a high credit-safety grade. BondScanner lists this bond with a minimum investment of ₹10K.

Its 9.21% yield is solid for its risk band, sitting 230th of 319 comparable Corporate bonds. That trails the Corporate median of 10.50% by 1.29 points, so the trade-off is lower yield for whatever else this issuer offers. A comparable SBI fixed deposit yields about 6.50%, so this bond adds roughly 2.71 points for taking on credit risk. Its short 1.9 yr horizon locks the rate for only a few years, limiting reinvestment risk. Paired with its very high safety (AA-) 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 9.21% headline is a pre-tax number. Here is the same bond seen from each slab, on ₹1,00,000 held for the remaining 1.9 yr.

Your tax slabPost-tax yield₹1,00,000 becomes
No tax (income under the exemption limit) 9.21% ₹1,18,534
5% slab 8.75% ₹1,17,572
20% slab 7.37% ₹1,14,706
30% slab 6.45% ₹1,12,815

At a 8.55% coupon, ₹1,00,000 of face value pays about ₹8,550 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

Difference+₹5,283

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 AA- credit risk is the reason for the gap.

When you get paid

Interest lands 4 times a year, in Mar, Jun, Sep, Dec, with about 8 payments still to come before 24 Sept 2028, each at the 8.55% 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 BondScanner before investing.
