Case Study#1

A leading bank of India was holding 30 lakh bonds of 754GS2029.


The bond had a coupon of 7.54% paid semi-annually on March 31
and September 30 every year. The maturity date of the bond is March
31, 2029. These bonds are categorized as ‘Available for Sale’. Hence,
they are supposed to be mark-to-market on the Balance Sheet date
of March 31, 2024. Unfortunately, the bond was not traded at all
during March 2024. Hence, the market price was not readily
available.

This case is developed by Prof. C. P. Gupta.
The Corporate Accounting Department of the Bank requested the
Treasury Department to provide the valuation of these bonds. For
this purpose, the Head of the Treasury Department asked to get the
necessary data regarding the trading of the GOI bonds. Since March
31, 2024 was Sunday and March 30, 2024 was Saturday, it was
decided to take the bond prices on the last trading day of the FY
2023-24, i.e. March 29, 2024.

The necessary information had been obtained for the relevant bonds
trading on March 29, 2024, and given in Table 1 below.
