FAQ :
The CBDT has notified the Ten-Year Zero Coupon Bond of the National Bank for Financing Infrastructure and Development (NaBFID) as a Zero Coupon Bond under the Income-tax Act, 2025.
A Zero Coupon Bond is a debt instrument that doesn't pay regular interest. Instead, it's sold at a discount and the investor receives the full face value upon maturity, with the difference being their return.
The bond is a 10-year Zero Coupon Bond from NaBFID, with a redemption amount of ₹20,000 crore and a discount amount of ₹10,296.12 crore. It is set to be issued on or before March 31, 2028.
The notification provides tax certainty for NaBFID's Zero Coupon Bond, which is expected to enhance investor confidence and facilitate the mobilisation of large-scale, long-term resources for critical infrastructure projects.
NaBFID must comply with the conditions prescribed under the Income-tax Act, 2025 and the Income-tax Rules, 2026.
