“Two classic examples – DHFL has defaulted NCD payments earlier and SREI has delayed repayment of NCD capital and interest payments.”
Thanks for putting this statement. What happened to those investors, sir? Did they get their money back? That is what reader would like to know.
Are the ratings of any use in India, where one ED raid will make it meaningless. All those banks which failed in US had solid rating from Moody’s.
Will you put your hard earned money for maximum 2% higher interest than what say SBI is giving?
You are putting difficult questions for which I don’t have answers. DHFL – I am sure investors did not got their money. For SREI, I still keep hearing from investors they did not receive money yet. I do not know how many people received and how many did not. Thats the reason I always say NBFC NCD bonds are riskier. Investors should understand this before they put their hard earned money.
