About this bond

Hero Fincorp is a corporate bond issued by a company to raise debt from investors, currently offering a yield to maturity (YTM) of 8.35%. It pays a coupon of 9.1% and matures on 18 Jan 2036, a remaining tenure of about 9.4 yr. It is rated AA+, a very high credit-safety grade. WintWealth lists this bond with a minimum investment of ₹1.1L.

Its 8.35% yield is solid for its risk band, toward the lower end at 227th of 265 Corporate bonds. That trails the Corporate median of 10.50% by 2.15 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 1.80 points for taking on credit risk. Its long 9.4 yr horizon locks in today's yield well into the future - useful if rates fall, a drag if they rise. 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 8.35% headline is a pre-tax number. Here is the same bond seen from each slab, on ₹1,00,000 held for the remaining 9.4 yr.

Your tax slabPost-tax yield₹1,00,000 becomes
No tax (income under the exemption limit) 8.35% ₹2,11,694
5% slab 7.93% ₹2,04,187
20% slab 6.68% ₹1,83,072
30% slab 5.84% ₹1,70,102

At a 9.1% coupon, ₹1,00,000 of face value pays about ₹9,100 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 9.4 years, one in this bond and one in a tenure-matched SBI fixed deposit at 6.55%.

This bond at 8.35%₹2,11,694
Fixed deposit at 6.55%₹1,83,597
Difference+₹28,097

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 Nov, with about 10 payments still to come before 18 Jan 2036, each at the 9.1% 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.
