What the screener does
The bond screener filters by instrument type, listing status, rating tier, secured or unsecured, maturity bucket and year range, coupon frequency, YTM range and issuer type. You can limit results to bonds that have traded, hide defaulted issuers, search by bond, ISIN or issuer, and sort by coupon, spread over G-Sec or maturity.
Around it: side-by-side comparison of up to four bonds, an issuer directory, rating actions, the perpetual bond tracker, the NCD subscription calendar and daily market signals. Where a figure is missing, the page shows “—” rather than an estimate.
What this is
It is a neutral, deep, free-at-base research and screening destination for Indian fixed income (including T-Bills). Trusted because it does not sell bonds, execute trades, or take commissions from issuers. Data comes from RBI, BSE, NSE, SEBI, and registered rating agencies.
Why this exists
Indian bond data is scattered across exchanges, depositories, regulators and rating agencies, and most retail investors never see it in one place. RetailBonds.in puts it into one screener. It does not earn when you transact: no trade commissions and no issuer payments, so nothing here is ranked or featured to drive a trade. Results follow yield, spread and published data.
What we are not
We are not a SEBI-registered intermediary of any kind. We do not execute trades, route orders, hold investor funds, or facilitate transactions. We are not a SEBI-registered investment advisor, research analyst, or Online Bond Platform Provider. See the full disclaimer.
Who built this
RetailBonds.in is founded and run by Arindam Sarkar, a software developer based in India. Find him on LinkedIn and X.
His goal is to turn India’s scattered bond market into systematic, accessible data — using the mechanics of yield, duration, and credit ratings to give investors clear, accurate information they can actually use to make better decisions. First principles, without any incentive to make one number look better than another.
That’s the point of RetailBonds.in: a screening and research tool with nothing to sell. No brokerage, no trade commission, no “recommended” bonds — just data, sourced and cited the same way for every issuer.
Data sources
Everything comes from RBI, BSE, NSE, SEBI, and agency ratings from CRISIL, ICRA, CARE, India Ratings, Acuité, Brickwork and Infomerics (nine agencies are SEBI-registered; ACER and CredStone have no ratings in our data yet). See the methodology page for the full breakdown.
