Compare yields before you buy
India Bond Ops is the Tools.Town cluster for retail fixed-income math: estimate YTM from a listed price, reverse into a fair price, check duration and accrued interest, and run a bond vs FD rate comparison — with hard disclaimers.
Educational only — not investment advice. Corporate bonds and NCDs can default; yields above bank FDs usually price that risk. Always read the offer document / rating rationale and confirm tax treatment.
