Bonds refer to high-security debt instruments that enable an entity to raise funds and fulfill capital requirements. It is a category of debt that borrowers avail from individual investors for a specified tenure.

Organizations, including companies, governments, municipalities, and other entities, issue bonds for investors in primary markets. The corpus thus collected is used to fund business operations and infrastructural development by companies and governments alike.

Non-convertible debentures (NCDS) are fixed-income instruments, usually issued by high-rated companies in the form of a public issue to accumulate long-term capital appreciation. They offer relatively higher interest rates when compared to convertible debentures.

Non-convertible debentures fall under the debt category. They cannot be converted into equity or stocks. NCDs have a fixed maturity date and the interest can be paid along with the principal amount either monthly, quarterly, or annually depending on the fixed tenure specified. They benefit investors with their supreme returns, liquidity, low risk, and tax benefits when compared to that of convertible debentures.
