Question 1

How do I compare bonds across platforms on BondDekho?

Accepted Answer

Use BondDekho's compare page to filter bonds by YTM (Yield to Maturity), credit rating, maturity date, minimum investment, and platform. Each bond card shows pricing from all available platforms side by side, so you can see where a bond is cheapest or offers the highest yield.

Question 2

What is the minimum investment for bonds in India?

Accepted Answer

Minimum investment varies by bond and platform. Most corporate bonds and NCDs have face values of Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 10,000. Platforms like GoldenPi, WintWealth, and IndiaBonds typically require minimum investments starting from Rs. 10,000, though some bonds start at Rs. 1,000.

Question 3

How is YTM calculated for bond comparison?

Accepted Answer

YTM (Yield to Maturity) accounts for the bond's current market price, face value, coupon payments, and time remaining to maturity. It represents the total annualized return if you hold the bond until maturity. BondDekho shows YTM from each platform so you can compare the effective return across platforms.

Question 4

Which bond platform has the lowest fees in India?

Accepted Answer

Most OBPPs (Online Bond Platform Providers) like GoldenPi, WintWealth, IndiaBonds, Jiraaf, and GripInvest do not charge explicit transaction fees to retail investors. The platform margin is typically embedded in the bond price. Compare the same bond across platforms on BondDekho to see effective pricing differences.
