Should you invest in Mahindra Finance NCD of July 2017?
Refer my earlier articles about NCD’s and you would get the answer. You should ask these 4 questions before you want to invest in these NCDs.
1) Mahindra Finance NCDs are unsecured. Investing in unsecured NCD’s would be high risk as they are not backed up with any assets of the company and in case of wind-up of company due to performance issue, investors would get least preference in repayment of these NCDs. Do you want to invest in such NCD’s then?
2) These NCD’s are for 7, 10 and 15 years. Do you want to park your money in unsecured NCD for such long term? Parking money in high risk options for longer time is not advisable as no one can predict what happens to companies in long term. One should always look for short term to medium term investment options.
3) Mahindra Finance NCD offers 8% interest per annum. There are several banks which still offer 7.5% to 8% on their fixed deposits. Should you invest in Mahindra Finance bonds then?
4) Mahindra finance company profits are going down. In future there could be delay in payment of interest if profits are in declining mode. Are you okay with this?
Conclusion: Considering all these limiting factors, I would ask investors to stay away from such high risk unsecured NCD’s.
Readers, do you feel these NCDs are worth investing?

Only the source of income in the bank which am transferring to her and few interests and dividends in her direct bank accounts crediting
which was not more than 1 lakh of the whole year.

venugopalan
Hi Venu, Since you are transferring money to your mother every month this would be treated as gift given to relative (as per relative definition as per IT act), hence no gift tax or any other tax payable by your mother on this transaction. Now she is earning Rs 1 Lakh interest per annum, hence she is not liable for any income tax. You have not indicated that she is having PAN card or not. I am assuming she has PAN card. 1) Pls file income tax returns considering whatever interest amount is received and if any tax is payable 2) Ensure you indicate Rs 80K x 12 months as Gift amount (you need to show this as exempted income in ITR) in your ITR. This way you are ensuring that the amount you transferred is not liable for tax. However you should note that any earnings / returns from such investments in mutual fund SIPs would be taxed as per short term or long term capital gains (based on MF taxation guidelines)
