About this bond
Akme Fintrade (India) Limited is a corporate bond issued by a company to raise debt from investors, currently offering a yield to maturity (YTM) of 12.5%. It pays a coupon of 11.6% and matures on 10 Mar 2029, a remaining tenure of about 2.4 yr. It is rated A-, an adequate credit-safety grade. EquiRize lists this bond with a minimum investment of ₹100K.
Its 12.5% yield is well above the market average, placing it 43rd of the 319 Corporate bonds on RightBonds - firmly in the top tier. That is 2.00 percentage points above the Corporate median of 10.50% - a clear yield premium over the typical peer. Against a tenure-matched SBI fixed deposit (6.65%), it pays roughly 5.85 points more - a large gap that only makes sense once you are comfortable with the issuer's credit. Its short 2.4 yr horizon locks the rate for only a few years, limiting reinvestment risk. Paired with its high safety (A-) rating, that is a higher-yield, higher-risk profile. Compare it against similar bonds on RightBonds before investing.
Investors comparing this bond often also look at AKME FINTRADE (INE916Y07107) at 12.75%, Akme Fintrade (INE916Y07081) at 12.2% and Akme Fintrade (INE916Y07073) at 12%.
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 12.5% headline is a pre-tax number. Here is the same bond seen from each slab, on ₹1,00,000 held for the remaining 2.4 yr.
| Your tax slab | Post-tax yield | ₹1,00,000 becomes |
|---|---|---|
| No tax (income under the exemption limit) | 12.50% | ₹1,32,468 |
| 5% slab | 11.88% | ₹1,30,718 |
| 20% slab | 10.00% | ₹1,25,548 |
| 30% slab | 8.75% | ₹1,22,170 |
At a 11.6% coupon, ₹1,00,000 of face value pays about ₹11,600 of interest a year. That is over the ₹10,000 Section 193 threshold, so roughly ₹1,160 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 2.4 years, one in this bond and one in a tenure-matched SBI fixed deposit at 6.65%.
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 A- credit risk is the reason for the gap.
