if i bought Gsec at the price of 103 and bond face value is 100.
When it gets mature , will I got my 103 or 100 at the time of maturity?
If we got only 100 face value so I lost extra 3 rupee ?

Upon maturity, one will receive the amount equal to the face-value of the bond.
The amount may not be equal to the amount one initially paid to purchase the bond.
(eg. if purchased on the secondary markets like BSE/NSE at a premium/discount.)

G Sec maturity principle amount back ?

Yes, that is the expected behaviour. Upon maturity, the face-value of the bond (not the amount one invested) is credited to the one who was holding the bond. NOTE: Please avoid duplicate posts.
