IFCI Tax Saving Long Term Infrastructure Bonds – Series IV

The latest company to offer 80CCF infrastructure bonds is IFCI, and they also happen to have the highest interest rate (but not by that much).

The 10 year option offers 9.09% which is 9 basis points higher than the IDFC and L&T Infrastructure issue, and the 15 year option has 9.16% which is 16 basis points higher than the other issues.

Since this issue is unsecured as opposed to the other issues that were secured, and the credit rating of this issue is lower than the other ones – I would think that this extra bit of interest rate isn’t enough of a sweetener to make a change in anyone’s preference.

The issue opened on the 30th November 2011 and will close on January 16 2012, so of all the issues that have come out so far – this one will remain open the longest.

There haven’t been any additional questions about infrastructure bonds since the last time I wrote about them so I will keep this a short post, and present the key information of this issue in the table below.

Like the other bonds – these one will list on the stock exchange after the initial 5 years are over and they will list on the BSE.

I can’t think of adding anything else, but if you have any questions or observations then please leave a comment.

  4. Hi ,

    I applied for series IV infra bonds of IFCI , paid Rs. 20000/- through Axis Bank in financial year 2011-12 and I am yet to receive my certificates . I have been making communicating with their offices , but I have been getting a stereo type reply through mail asking me to sign some indemnity bond and get it notarised to get a duplicate copy . I have not received my original certificate and now they are wanting me to get into a formality for my duplicate certificate which will involve some expenditure for no fault of mine .

    Can some one please suggest as to what should I do next ! Also , can some one please provide me a senior authority’s contact details – email ID/Phone number whom I can contact for my problem !

    Thanks,

  6. Manshu,

    IFCI came out with Series IV so soon. Looks like competition. They had series III in November and i had applied for it. Is there any way we can check the allotment status?
    I checked my demat and the same has not yet reflected.

    1. No Rakesh, I’m afraid I don’t know of a way to look at that. In fact I wasn’t even aware that they had already come out with a series in November.

  7. common citizens of india, go for it as there is one hidden surety for this bonds. as ifci is under indirect control ofv our central govt.

    1. what is this ludicrous thing about common citizens of India? Everyone has to manage risk and look out for himself or herself. If you want to ignore that for an extra Rs. 18 then that’s totally your decision but asking “common citizens of India” to do something or the other is ridiculous.
