Maruti Swift Dzire compact sedan was launched in New Delhi in all seven variants -- including the 1.2 L petrol in four variants and a 1.3 L Swift Dzire diesel in three variants.



Maruti Swift Dzire price starts at Rs 4,79,000 for the base petrol variant.

New Dzire prices:

Maruti Swift Dzire LXi - Rs 479,000

Maruti Swift Dzire Vxi - Rs 532,000

Maruti Swift Dzire Vxi Auto - Rs 654,000

New Maruti Swift Dzire carries forward the superior air around it to the next level with its compact form shortened by 165 mm from the previous version.

The club shaped headlamps on new Swift Dzire are distinct from the rest even from the Maruti Swift hatchback, which was expected to be based on the Maruti Swift design cues, but is more or less retained as before with tweaked new looks to endow the car with a softer touch at the same time exuding the inner strength of the car.

The fog lamps sitting on either side of the prominent grille are well in tandem with the tweaked new headlamps while the new alloy wheels also look quite apt with the rest of the new lustrous exteriors.

The turn indicators integrated side rear view mirrors are also new in the 2012 Swift Dzire version while the makeover is carried to the now shortened rear end to offer a lesser boot 316 litre.

Power Finance Corporation (PFC) Tax-Free Bonds : Important Features, Issue Size, Return, Tax Exemption


Power Finance Corporation (PFC) Tax-Free Bonds : Important Features, Issue Size, Return, Tax Exemption 



Power Finance Corporation (PFC) has come out with a Rs 5,000-crore tax-free bond issue. PFC is a Navratna Government of India undertaking with the government holding 73.72% stake in it. Allotment will be made on a first-come-first-serve basis and the issue closes on January 16.

Tax Free Bonds of Face Value of Rs.1,000 Each, In The Nature Of Secured, Redeemable, Non-Convertible Debentures, Having Benefits Under Section 10(15)(Iv)(h) of The Income Tax Act, 1961

PFC bonds score well for those in the highest tax bracket. So if you invest 1 lakh in PFC bonds, and you are in the highest tax bracket, you will get an interest income of Rs 8,300 per annum for 15 years which is tax free. As against this, even if you earn a 9% interest in bank fixed deposit and you are in the highest tax bracket (30.9%) you will earn an interest of Rs 9,000 per annum but will pay a tax of Rs 2,781, so the net interest you earn is only Rs 6,219, or yield of 6.22%.

Why To Apply ? 

Tax-free interest of 8.3% is the highest available after PPF, and there is no upper ceiling on investment. Though PPF offers you an interest of 8.6%, it is subject to revision and the maximum amount you can invest is only Rs 1 lakh per annum.
