SEBI Making Bonds More Accessible to Retail Investors

SEBI issued a new circular allowing bond issuers to offer bonds with a face value of Rs 10,000, a significant reduction from the previous 10 lakh rupees. The move aims to increase retail investor participation in corporate bonds as the market is currently dominated by banks, institutional investors, and mutual funds. Retail investors previously faced challenges due to the complexity of bond investments, private placements limited to large investors, and high face values. SEBI's efforts include reducing face values to 1 lakh rupees in 2022 and further to 10,000 rupees in 2023 to attract retail investors.
