IRFC Tax Free Bonds and Bank Fixed Deposits

IRFC bonds score well for those in the highest tax bracket. So if you invest . 1 lakh in IRFC bonds, and are in the highest tax bracket, you will get an interest income of . 8,300 per annum for 15 years which is tax free. As against this, even if you earn a 9% interest on a bank fixed deposit and you are in the highest tax bracket (30.9%) you will earn an interest of Rs 9,000 per annum but will pay a tax of Rs 2,781, so the net interest you earn is only Rs 6,219, which is a yield of 6.22%

IRFC Tax Free Bonds and PPF

Tax-free interest of 8.3% is the highest available after PPF, and there is no upper ceiling on investment. Though PPF offers you an interest of 8.6%, it is subject to revision and the maximum amount you can invest is only Rs 1 lakh per annum.

Caution

Even though the bonds will be listed, one is not sure if there will be an active secondary market for these bonds. Hence, if you need the money in between, you may have no other way out.
