Piramal Capital and Housing Finance NCDs offer high interest rates of 9%. It offers 26, 36, 60 and 120 months tenure NCDs which are secured. These have AA rating from CARE and ICRA. While NBFCโs have some risk element, investing in AA rated secured NCDs are good. However, investors can avoid long term tenure of 120 months as we do not know how company might perform in the long term. High risk to moderate risk investors can invest in these NCDs for medium term.

Outlook for Piramal NCD is indicated Negative by Rating agency. Can you please elaborate this.
Hello NK Mehta, Credit rating agencies would assign + / – (plus and minus) for each and every credit rating scale. In simple terms, it is like top and bottom of the rating. You can read more info on ICRA website at this link.
A very useful blog and I am really delighted to come across such an informative article.
Piramal Capital Secured NCD enjoying an AA rating offering interest at 9% is a far better proposition than IIFL Home finance Ltd.’s unsecured NCD offering interest at 9.6% :
1. Interest on housing loans have fallen to below 7% p.a.. How IIFL Home Finance will make money when it’s cost of funds is at 9.6% unless it compromises on the quality of customers leading to potential delinquency.
2. Piramal Capital & Housing Finance Company is an NBFC and HFC both and therefore the customer mix and profile will be different than IIFL Home Finance Ltd.
Thanks for your valuable comments Kamal
