About the Issuer

Liquidity & Exit

Listing: The NCDs are proposed to be listed on BSE Limited, providing an exit route via the secondary market. Secondary Market Liquidity: Historically, secondary market liquidity for public NCD issues can be low, and units may trade at a discount or experience price volatility depending on prevailing interest rates.

Tax Treatment

Interest earned on these NCDs is fully taxable in the investor's hands at their applicable income-tax slab rate. For NCDs listed on a stock exchange and held in dematerialized form, no TDS is deducted for resident individual holders under the proviso to Section 193 of the Income-tax Act — this is a TDS exemption only, not a tax exemption, and the interest must still be declared as taxable income. For unlisted or physical-form holdings, TDS applies where interest exceeds the prescribed threshold; residents can submit Form 15G/15H to seek non-deduction if eligible. NRIs/FPIs should confirm eligibility and tax-treaty treatment separately, only if this issue is open to non-resident investors. Consult a tax advisor for your specific situation.
