However NRIs cannot apply for this NCD.
Why you should invest?
The NCD is secured, which means the above debt is backed by assets of the company
Largest Gold Loan player in India
The interest rates are better than your regular FDs
Why you should not invest?
The fortune of Gold Loan companies are dependent on Gold Prices. Any negative correction to Gold prices can be bad for company
There has been consistent drop in profits of the company and increase in NPAs. If this continues, there might be issues in serving regular interests.
There are other competing NCDs with similar interest rates
How to Apply?
If you have Demat account apply through that. It’s the easiest way to apply and also avoids a lot of hassle in terms of KYC and paper work
In case you don’t have Demat Account, you can download the application form from company site or Financial Institutions and submit to collection centers.
Also note that only option I to VI is also available in Physical Form while option VII to XI would only be available in Demat Form.
Recommendation:
My recommendation is to invest some part of your Fixed Income investment in this NCD Issue
The Option XI (Doubling Money) is riskier than other options as that is unsecure. You should keep away from that option.
You should always have diversified portfolio be it fixed deposit, NCD or equity investment
Its good idea to remain invested till maturity because liquidity on exchanges are low and hence you would get lower than market value
If you plan to invest in this issue, do it early as most good NCD issues are over-subscribed before the end date.

Assuming 7.5% interest on fixed deposit you would need Rs 32 lakhs deposit. You can compare the highest fixed deposit offers by banks here and best company fixed deposits here. YOu can also look for tax free bonds from secondary markets but the interest paid would be annually.
