Though the interest rate is slightly lower than IDFC/IFCI but it seems those who missed earlier, REC is the only choice as of now.
Yes,May be,,butI do not think IFCI or REC can make any difference.
No. For your kind info, IFCI (Series IV) is offering a better rate and is currently open for subscription till Jan 16th 2011. Please visit http://www.ifciltd.com/IFCIBonds/InfrastructureBonds/CurrentIssue/tabid/227/Default.aspx and keep yourself updated, so we can offer proper advice.
Correction: Open for subsciption till Jan 16th 2012.
Please update yourself.last date of REC is 10th Feb 2012.
REC is better considering overall ratings,not interest rates.
