  1. Muthoot gold mutual fund ka interest kitna milta hey kya yeh per annum hey ya per month milta hey please help me this investment topic thank

  2. Hello Sir

    I am a subscriber and an avid reader of your blog posts. Unfortunately, I was not able to subscribe to this because it seemed that it was already oversubscribed on the first day itself.

    How do you get to know about these NCD offers earlier? Do you keep on scanning the BSE and NSE websites?

    If you can provide this, it will be very useful so that people like me can be prepared and get the required amount of money. I did look at your blog post but by that time I could arrange for the money, it was already very late.

    It would be very helpful if you can provide a way for laypersons like me to know about the NCD and then follow it up by reading your views on it.

    Thank you

    1. Hi Rohit, I keep reading NSE/BSE/SEBI announcements and I would publish these analyis upfront. You can subscribe to your email list so that you can get these tips. Alternatively keep visiting our site atleast twice a week so that such opportunities can be known upfront

  3. Hello Sir

    I am a customer of ICICI direct and I have not seen Muthoot finance being listed today.

    Internet searches also not revealing anything on why it was not listed.

    Can you please update and if possible, provide any new date of this NCD offer ?

    Also, I have been a keen follower of your website for the past two years. It will be very useful if you can consider adding a link to the actual offer document in any published post about a new offer.

    Thank you again for your initiative in writing these blog posts

    1. Hi Ramana, These are listed after the offer is closed and after 2-3 weeks time. In ICICI Direct, go to equity —> Place Order —> Type “Muthoot”, you would see all listed NCDs of Muthoot

  4. I don’t this this is for high risk taker . banks look high risk look at pnb , if its secure its as secure as fd if its from a good company , so I feel its worth to apply

  5. What is the meaning of secured, in the context that, if Muthoot diverts the borrowing into other entities/businesses and fail and shut shop? Whether the security is good enough or not, will become clear, at that point only. Who is there to verify that security is really good enough and will cover the borrowings. After banking frauds, there is no trust on systems or words called “secured”

    1. hey kirsh , if u be so negative I don’t think u can ever earn higher so its better to take little risk like this , I can bet u muthut wont shut

  6. Could you kindly review the FDs offered by Tamilnadu Power Finance and Infrastructure Development Corporation and Tamilnadu Transport Development Finance Corporation? Are these safe enough for senior citizens to invest in? Thanks and regards.

    Mahavir Gusain

    1. Power Finance and Transport Development FD are quite safe (backed by Govt Guarantee). Only negative about them (as per me) : They don’t accept on-line (subscription and maturity). If you are living near a branch and comfortable with off line transaction, you can invest.
