Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions Answered

G-Secs generally offer higher transparency and liquidity. While an FD is capped at a 10-year tenure, G-Secs allow you to lock in rates for up to 40 years, providing a hedge against future falling interest rates.
While credit risk is zero, interest rate risk is real. If you sell a long-term G-Sec before maturity when market rates have risen, the bond’s price may be lower than your purchase price. We recommend laddering maturities to mitigate this.
Interest from G-Secs is taxed at your applicable slab rate. However, for those in the highest tax bracket, holding G-Secs via Target Maturity Funds or specific structured products can sometimes offer better capital gains treatment if held long-term.
Yes. G-Secs are highly repo-able. You can use them as collateral to raise short-term funds for your business or to leverage other alternative investments, making them an excellent tool for family office advisory.
