Muthoot Finance, the dominant player in Gold Loan Business has come out with public issue of non-convertible debentures (NCD) offering up to 10% interest rate. The issue opens today and closes on January 11, 2016.

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.
