There is a difference in rating as well and HUDCO is rated Fitch AA+ by Fitch and CARE AA+ by CARE which is a notch lower than the Indian Railway issue.
The minimum investment needed is Rs. 10,000 and you can invest in multiples of Rs. 1,000 after that. The bonds will list on both NSE and BSE and the bond issue size is Rs. 4,684.72 crores.
| Option | Series I | Series II |
| Face Value | Rs. 1,000 | Rs. 1,000 |
| Minimum Investment | Rs. 10,000 | Rs. 10,000 |
| Tenor | 10 years | 15 years |
| Interest Rate: Retail Investors | 8.22% | 8.35% |

This issue also has what's being called the step down feature which means that the higher interest rate that the retail investors get is only applicable as long as they hold the bonds. If they sell the bonds on the stock exchange then the person who buys it from them will not get the higher rate but will instead get the rate decided for the other categories.
Can NRIs invest in the HUDCO tax free bonds?
Yes, NRIs can also apply to this offer and can either buy it in the retail category or the other category.
Who falls under the retail category?
Individuals and NRIs who are going to invest less than Rs. 5 lakhs will fall under the retail category.
How will the shares be allotted?
First come first serve
What is tax free: Is the principal tax free or the interest tax free?
This is not like the 80CCF infrastructure bonds that are open right now so don't confuse these bonds with them. This is truly tax free in the sense that the interest you receive from these bonds will not be taxed.
The infrastructure bonds are called tax saving bonds but are not tax free. They save tax because when you invest in them then you can reduce the amount of investment (up to a maximum of Rs. 20,000) from your income and lower your tax incidence. But the interest income on them is taxable, so they are not tax free.
