As per brochure, ICICI Money Multiplier bond was originally issued for Rs.4,000/- in 1998, with the maturity amount of Rs.1 lakh in May 2023.
I bought this bond in October 2020 from secondary market for Rs. 80,000/- and held till maturity i.e. 1/5/23.
On maturity I was paid Rs.90,400/- after deducting TDS of 9,600/-
This gain of Rs.20,000/- is to be treated as Capital gains or interest income.
If it is capital gains, since Holding period was 31 months, can it be LTCG.
Pl clarify.
