What is this product
A 42-month Nifty-linked market-linked debenture (All Weather Equity Plus) that protects your principal at maturity and, once the Nifty rises more than 10% over the term, pays 5.7 times the excess up to a 57% cap.
- 01Principal is protected at maturity regardless of where the Nifty ends, subject to issuer credit.
- 02No return accrues until the Nifty gain over the term is more than 10%.
- 03Above that hurdle you earn 5.7% for each additional 1% of Nifty gain, so a 20% Nifty rise pays the full 57% cap.
- 04Entry level averages the Nifty over the first 5 F&O expiries; exit level averages the closes from the 31st to the 36th month. Minimum investment ₹5 L, in ₹1 L steps thereafter.
Average of the official closing levels of the Nifty 50 on the primary trade date and on the F&O expiry of each of the next 5 months.
Average of the official closing levels of the Nifty 50 on the F&O expiry of the 31st to the 36th month from the primary trade date. Redemption is at month 42, so the level is fixed six months before you are paid.
Your return is measured between these two levels, not from the index level on the day you invest. Read both definitions in the term sheet before investing.
Payoff visualisation
Indicative profile of the structure's mechanics at maturity, shown out to a +100% move in the underlying. Not a forecast.
How to read this. The horizontal axis is how far the underlying (the index this note tracks) moves by maturity. The gold line is what this structure pays you at each of those moves. The teal dashed line is break-even. Where the gold line is above it you make money; where it flattens, the return is capped or the capital is protected. For example, read across to a plus 10 percent move on the axis, then up to the gold line to see your return if the index finished 10 percent higher.

How often it beat the alternatives
Across every tenor-length window in the underlying's real history, how often this structure would have beaten the simple alternatives, measured on its own entry and exit levels. A historical frequency, indicative, not a forecast or a probability.
Across 182 rolling 42-month windows with monthly starts, from Jan 2008 to Feb 2023, each computed on this note's own entry and exit convention. Inflation uses CPI (World Bank / MoSPI); the fixed-deposit benchmark uses a representative 1 to 3 year bank rate. Indicative and pre-tax; past performance is not indicative of future results.
If it had matured into a crisis or a peak
Each card assumes the note matured at that moment in history. The figures are the full 42-month return ending then, on this note's own averaged entry and exit levels, so a note maturing into a crash can still show a gain when its exit was fixed before the fall. Real Nifty 50 path; not a forecast.
Maturing into the depths of the 2008 crash.
Price history does not reach back to the entry date this tenor needs.
Maturing just as the COVID crash hit, on an exit level averaged over the months before it.
Maturing near the top of the 2021 rally.
Maturing in the 2022 to 2023 range, after the full post-COVID recovery.
