  1. Hi,

     

    I have invested in ECL NCD 30,000/- through Edelweiss and edelweiss agent [SAIDULU MADASU] took the chque and form fill up. 

     

    After cheque debited from my a/c, local edelweiss office Banjara Hills, Hyderbad not taking the responsibility and not to helping me 

     

    with my investment.

     

    At the time of investment edelweiss agent told that NCD can be bought directly without dmat but later need dmat to sale it after 5 year.

     

    I do not how to get the certificate and when I get that. 

     

    I have visited several times to Edelweiss office and called several times and requested agent 

     

    too to provide me the certificate but they are simply not taking care of.

     

    So I am anxious my money has been cheated, then why I am not getting my NCD certificate?

     

    Thanks-

  2. I would like to know if interest calculation is done on a pro rata basis if the NCD is bought in the middle of the month via NSE/BSE. For example someone invests Rs. 1 lakh at 12% coupon rate, monthly payout, that is Rs. 12,000 per annum which is Rs. 1000 per month payout for the investor who bought the NCDs during IPO.  Lets say the record date is 1st of every month. If the IPO investor sells his bond online on the 15th of a month, how is the interest calculated? Will both the buyer and seller get interest for 15 days, Rs. 500 each, on the next record date?

    1. Hi Krishna, Calculation is simple. Who ever holds the bond on record date would get the entire month interset. If you hold the bond on 1st and 1st is the cut-off date, then entire month interest is paid to you. 

      1. You are very kind, sir. You ALWAYS post informative, useful material… always provide the right answers… hats off to you.. please keep up the good work so that the commoner can benefit…

  3. Don't do business with Edelweiss Financial Service Ltd. I opened trading account in Edelweiss there its agent did authorized trading and made loss for me. Now they are not entertaining my complaint. In India law is not rigid as it should be. It is long story. In first hand these type of companies should not be allowed to do business. Now I do business with the most branded and few ones. Remember you can't get justice if something will go wrong.

    1. Bad to hear your story Nikhil. However these two are different things. One is you are talking about demat account with them and their agent cheating you by making a trade and making you loss. Here this is Secured NCD. In case of any issue with the company, investors can get their capital. There could be some delay, but these are secured. However I take your point in my future articles in case of demat account recommendation.

  4. Hi Suresh,

    Thanks for quick review as always.

    Now I have a query in general regarding ASBA.SEBI says 5 applications can be submitted from one bank account.So does this mean 5 different unrelated people can apply from one bank account even though they may not be account holder with the bank?

    Thanks

  5. An analysis on "Tax Treatment" and returns "Post Tax" for all Income Brackets will definitely make the article more interesting.

    The same is recommended for inclusion in all your further articles for investments.

    You may dwell upon writing an article on the remaining issues of Tax Free Bonds 2013-2014 with likely interest rates, companies which have filed their Prospectus for TFB and those who are yet to do so.
