Suresh, you have excellent source of info for scores of people. I have been a regular reader for a few years now. You never miss any new bond offer (ncds) and I find those articles timely and insightful. But when the going gets tough I expect more guidance. Unfortunately I did not see anything on DHFL since the first default in early June 2019. This is something you should provide as there is literally zero info. on the same. If you write a blog on what to do when some of the dhfl bonds are trading at 50%, your readership will also shoot up.
Thanks.
Sure Mukul. Thanks for the feedback

Dear Suresh,
Although I read a lot about investment ideas from net & print media, I must say that you are the BEST !!!!!!!! I really appreciate your balanced views/recommendations on all financial instruments which is ofcourse different from the “so called” financial wizards. Congrats for your 7th Birthday. I am quite sure that you will concur greater heights in the field in future and wish you all success….
I wish you publish an article on how interest on NCDs are incorporated in IT return. For example, I have NCDs – mostly interest payable on yearly basis in Demat form. The Companies/Registrars never intimate interest payment details separately to investors nor inform the exact interest portion in each FY. This creates problem in indicating the exact interest amount against each NCD A/c in the IT return. Your comments on this issue is highly appreciated.
Thanks for your comments Srinivasan. I would provide your query with an article in this week. This would help even others who might be looking for such information.
All the Very best. I wish you to celebrate silver jubilee
