  • NCDs are taxable, thus the return get reduced by individual’s Tax bracket. 
  • TDS is not deducted if NCDs are held in Demat form.
  • Aadhar Housing Finance Ltdhas strong parental support of DHFL.
  • I do not intend to apply in Aadhar Housing Finance Ltd NCD issue as similar rate NCDs are available in the secondary market.. I may purchase these debentures (3 year option) on listing from secondary market if listed at a good discount. However deals in secondary markets are less with other complications and rates are not very different.
  • For those who are interested to apply, my preference is for 3 years option only as interest rates could harden over the long run. If I were to invest I would restrict it to a lower amount compared to Tata Finance NCD issue even though the rates offered are higher. 
  • These NCDs will be listed on stock exchanges. However in general  the spread  in NCDs is more as the Debt market is yet not fully developed in the country. Liquidity in group company India Bull housing debentures is not very high.
  • Since allotment is on first come first serve basis,  So those who desire to apply should do so on first day itself.
