    I will be highly obliged, if you write article on present status DHFL and it’s future of NCD holders.
    Warmly,

    1. Hello Sanjeev, Thanks for your comments. Regd DHFL, current situation changes almost on daily basis. Lets wait for few more weeks and I can post an article after that

  3. Suresh,

    Thank you for this info. I have a critical question. Currently my Fixed Deposit is giving my good interest (9 percent). But it matures in November. Should I wait till November and then start looking for new options or if and when a good and relatively safe NCD issue pops up before November, should break the Fixed Deposit and opt for the NCD? Please advise.

    Manoj
