Should you invest?
NCDs are fixed-income investments that come with a coupon rate of interest. They are typically issued by private institutions. The rate of interest on NCDs is generally higher than the post office and bank fixed deposit schemes.
Also, returns from NCDs are taxable as ‘income from other sources’ in the hands of the investor. Gains from the sale of NCDs in the stock exchange are treated as “profits and gains from business” or as “capital gains”.
