Conclusion: As indicated in my previous articles about Muthoot Finance NCD’s, while I am interested to get higher interest, I am equally interested to protect my investment. I would not look for any unsecured NCD’s. High risk takers can invest in the secured NCD (Option I to X), however, should consider the negative points and risk factors indicated above.

You can invest in the highest series to get your money doubled
What you mean highest series.?
In this case the XI option is highest series
Rated AA by both ICRA & CRISIL indicating high safety. Does this mean that the ratings apply for the entire tenor of 1-3 yrs.Can the rating be down-graded if things go bad in the mean time? Why do you recommend this to high risk takers only even though the rating is AA?
What about TDS on ncd ?
Their is no TDS on NCDs
