About this bond

DMI Finance 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 9.5% and matures on 11 Aug 2028, a remaining tenure of about 1.8 yr. It is rated AA, a high 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 215th of 319 comparable Corporate bonds. That trails the Corporate median of 10.50% by 1.00 points, so the trade-off is lower yield for whatever else this issuer offers. Against a tenure-matched SBI fixed deposit (6.50%), it pays roughly 3.00 points more - a large gap that only makes sense once you are comfortable with the issuer's credit. Its short 1.8 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 9.5% headline is a pre-tax number. Here is the same bond seen from each slab, on ₹1,00,000 held for the remaining 1.8 yr.

Your tax slabPost-tax yield₹1,00,000 becomes
No tax (income under the exemption limit) 9.50% ₹1,17,847
5% slab 9.03% ₹1,16,924
20% slab 7.60% ₹1,14,173
30% slab 6.65% ₹1,12,356

At a 9.5% coupon, ₹1,00,000 of face value pays about ₹9,500 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

Fixed deposit at 6.50%₹1,12,375
Difference+₹5,472

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 once a year, in Jul, with about 2 payments still to come before 11 Aug 2028, each at the 9.5% 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.
