Infrastructure Development Finance Company (IDFC) in the current fiscal is eyeing to raise up to Rs 5,000 crore through tax-saving bonds. The proceeds from bonds would be used for investment in infrastructure sector. The lead arrangers for the issue appointed by the company are J M Financial, ICICI Securities, Karvy Investor Services, Kotak Mahindra Capital and IDFC Capital.
The bonds with a face value of Rs 5,000 would be listed on the National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange. In the previous fiscal the company managed to raise Rs 1,400-crore in three tranches by way of tax-savings bonds.
In the ambit of Section 80 CCF of the Income Tax Act, the government in 2010-11 had included long-term tax savings bonds in order to channelize savings for development of infrastructure sector. Investors in such bonds will qualify for tax exemption on investment up to Rs 20,000 annually. This is over and above the existing tax saving limit of Rs 1 lakh.
Earlier this week the finance ministry had allowed IDFC to raise funds from long term infrastructure bonds. Besides, Industrial Finance Corporation of India (IFCI), Life Insurance Corporation (LIC), Infrastructure Development Finance Company (IDFC) and India Infrastructure Finance Company (IIFCL) and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) classified as infrastructure finance company by RBI were also permitted to issue tax-savings bonds.
