In today’s uncertain financial environment, investors are increasingly turning toward stable and predictable income options. One such option that is gaining popularity in India is bonds. Whether you’re planning for retirement, diversifying your portfolio, or simply looking for safer alternatives to equity, bonds can play a critical role.

💡 What Is a Bond?

A bond is a loan made by an investor to a borrower (typically a government or corporation). When you buy a bond, you’re essentially lending money for a fixed time at a fixed interest rate.

At maturity, the issuer repays the principal amount, and during the holding period, you earn regular interest (also called a coupon).
