Frequently Asked Questions
How can retail investors buy government bonds in India?
Retail investors can buy government bonds through: (1) RBI Retail Direct — a free platform by RBI for direct purchase, (2) Stock exchanges (NSE/BSE) through your existing demat account, (3) Online bond platforms like GoldenPi and IndiaBonds, (4) Mutual funds that invest in government securities (gilt funds).
What is the difference between G-Sec and SDL bonds?
G-Secs are issued by the Central Government and carry sovereign guarantee. SDLs (State Development Loans) are issued by individual state governments. SDLs typically offer 0.25-0.75% higher yields than G-Secs of similar maturity because they carry slightly higher risk, though no state has ever defaulted on SDL payments.
What returns do government bonds offer in India?
Government bond yields in India currently range from 6.5% to 7.5% depending on maturity. Short-term G-Secs (1-3 years) yield around 6.5-7%, while long-term G-Secs (10+ years) yield around 7-7.5%. SDLs offer 0.25-0.75% more than comparable G-Secs.
