Has anyone invested in NABARD or REC zero coupon bonds?

AFAIK, these notified zero coupon bonds are the only bonds which charge only LTCG (with indexation) if held till maturity.

Every other bond is taxed at slab rate.

Looking for anyone's prior experience in Bangalore investing in these. And which platform did you use?

Just curious, 7.XX % interest with 10-15 year lock-in, with not a very promising secondary market for bonds in India yet. Is this better than a small finance bank FD maybe?

I feel these are relatively safer than any small finance Bank, as they have backing of government.
