IIFL one of the largest financial service company in India plans to open IIFL home bonds NCD on Dec 12, 2013.  The NCD issue is 250 Cr with option to retain over subscription of additional 250 Cr aggregating to a total up to 500 cr. Let’s checkout features of IILF Home Bond.

IIFL Home Bond details-

  • Face value of NCD – 1000 Rs/-
  • Minimum application size is 10,000 Rs/-; Allotment on a first-come-first-served basis;
  • 12.15% p.a. yield; 11.52 coupon with monthly income

  • Offer opens on December 12, 2013 and closes on December 20, 2013
  • Allotment will be done on first come first serve basis

This is the fourth issue from IIFL Group in the last 3 years.

Looking at first glance with 12.15% yield & 11.52% coupon is very lucrative offer but we should look at return on a post-tax basis.

For someone in highest tax bracket 30% this coupon rate of 11.52% will reduce to 8.12% post tax. For tax bracket of 20% it will reduce to 9.6% post tax and to 10.36% for 10% tax bracket.

Post tax return is slightly higher compare to FD. We recommend you to invest in this NCD only if you are falling under lower tax bracket (10% slab) and happy with return of 10.36%.

Decide which business is most suitable for you. Search your soul. Getting success will be difficult if you are not with your soul and not passionate about your business.

Apart from this you must do research the market. Product study & market analysis always boost your confidence.

(2)   Gain Work Experience

One should acquire skills and knowledge before getting instrumental for business. You must work first and learn the basics of a particular business. Do not just think of only earning money through salaries, but earn knowledge and experiences.

(3)   Arrange for capital & resources

Capital & resource is top most requirements for starting any business. If you don’t have capital you can borrow from family or friend. We recommend building capital on your own. If require you can opt for small part time sales assignment believe me sharpening your skill on sales and marketing will help you a lot. Good salesman can become good businessman.

Apart from capital you may need place/office to start business. If you don’t have any suitable place/office we recommend taking office on lease.

(4)   Getting Started

Entrepreneurship is a journey & not a destination to begin this journey you must complete several formalities. First, you need to register your business. Another thing you need to do is obtain a GSTIN number and open business credit card Singapore.

(5)   Don’t be afraid of initial failure

Remember failure always teach us priceless lesson which school or university cannot teach. Failures are temporary setbacks, stepping stone to success.

Sufficient time is required to establish and run the business so make up your mind don’t afraid of initial failure and don’t carry away by success.

(6)   Try and try until you succeed

You must continue your try till you get success. This reminds me about important lesson taught by Abraham Lincoln who failed so many time but never give up.

Abraham Lincoln could have quit many times but he didn’t and because he didn’t quit, he became one of the greatest Presidents in the history of US.

You must try and try until you succeed.

Remember “Quitter never wins, Winner never quits”.

(7)   Think beyond money

Sometime entrepreneur should think beyond money. Remember customer is king rather than thinking about money one should think of increasing customer satisfaction & services which will always help in enhancing business.

Remember being entrepreneur is not just thinking or remodeling old business idea. It’s about brining creativity, innovation to business and servicing society and nation.
