Bonds and Debentures: Low-Risk Investments in India

Subject: Static GK (General Knowledge)

Book: Indian Money Knowledge

Bonds are debt securities from government or corporate issuers, offering fixed interest over a defined term. Debentures are similar but often unsecured, relying on issuer credibility. Government bonds (G-Secs) carry lower risk than corporate bonds, yet returns may be modest. For students or conservative investors, adding bonds to a portfolio can balance equity risk. Monitoring credit ratings, maturity periods, and coupon rates ensures a stable, predictable income stream.
