@siva-reddy, @Bhuvan, @suresh,
I am using a simple hack to get alerts for interest credit for my SGB until team Zerodha implements it officially in the Events Nudge.
Step 1: Find the date of issue of the SGB from the NSE list and thus determine the interest credit dates.
If you have SGB in your portfolio and you are registered for CDSL Easi, you can get the maturity dates. That’s the first cue to calculate the interest credit date.
Now as mentioned above, the interest is credited semi-annually e.g.
- For SGBJULY25, interest would be credited on 29th July and 29th January of a year. And the maturity date is 28 July, 2025.
Step 2: Open Google Calendar and set recurring reminders every 6 months for the interest credit dates until the maturity date.
Step 3: On the said date you would get a reminder and it would be repeated until the maturity date of the SGB.
That’s it. Done!
Theoretically, you may see some trade volume in-around the interest credit date as sellers may want to sell it after getting the interest, and buyers to hold for long may want to buy it at a cheaper rate.
