In India they typically yield 7.5–9%, modestly above government securities of similar tenure. Interest-rate and liquidity risks still apply.
AAA is the highest credit rating assigned to bonds by SEBI-registered agencies like CRISIL, ICRA, CARE, and India Ratings. Bonds with AAA rating carry the lowest default risk among corporate bonds.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does AAA rating mean for bonds?
AAA is the highest credit rating assigned by rating agencies like CRISIL, ICRA, and CARE. It indicates the highest degree of safety regarding timely servicing of financial obligations. AAA-rated bonds have the lowest probability of default among corporate bonds.
What is the typical yield on AAA rated bonds in India?
AAA rated corporate bonds in India typically offer yields between 7.5% to 9% depending on the tenure and issuer. These yields are generally 1-2% higher than government bonds of similar maturity, compensating for the slightly higher credit risk.
Are AAA rated bonds risk-free?
No, AAA rated bonds are not risk-free. While they have minimal credit risk, they still carry interest rate risk (bond prices fall when rates rise), liquidity risk (some bonds may be hard to sell), and reinvestment risk. Only government securities are considered sovereign risk-free.
