About this bond
Kerala Infrastructure Dec ’29 is a corporate bond issued by a company to raise debt from investors, currently offering a yield to maturity (YTM) of 8.55%. It pays a coupon of 9.42% and matures on 30 Dec 2029, a remaining tenure of about 3.2 yr. It is rated AA, a high credit-safety grade. BondScanner lists this bond with a minimum investment of ₹10.5L.
Its 8.55% yield is solid for its risk band, toward the lower end at 275th of 319 Corporate bonds. That trails the Corporate median of 10.50% by 1.95 points, so the trade-off is lower yield for whatever else this issuer offers. A comparable SBI fixed deposit yields about 6.55%, so this bond adds roughly 2.00 points for taking on credit risk. Its medium 3.2 yr horizon balances rate lock-in against flexibility. Paired with its very high safety (AA) rating, that leans toward the safety-first end. Compare it against similar bonds on RightBonds before investing.

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 8.55% headline is a pre-tax number. Here is the same bond seen from each slab, on ₹1,00,000 held for the remaining 3.2 yr.
| Your tax slab | Post-tax yield | ₹1,00,000 becomes |
|---|---|---|
| No tax (income under the exemption limit) | 8.55% | ₹1,29,967 |
| 5% slab | 8.12% | ₹1,28,338 |
| 20% slab | 6.84% | ₹1,23,538 |
| 30% slab | 5.99% | ₹1,20,407 |
At a 9.42% coupon, ₹1,00,000 of face value pays about ₹9,420 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 3.2 years, one in this bond and one in a tenure-matched SBI fixed deposit at 6.55%.
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 13 payments still to come before 30 Dec 2029, each at the 9.42% 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.
