Finance Corp has accepted bids worth 30.05 billion
rupees ($365.7 million) for bonds maturing in 1 year, 10 months
and 8 days, three merchant bankers said on Friday.
The housing financier will pay a coupon of 7.79% on this
bond issue for which it had invited bids earlier in the day.
The bonds are rated AAA by Crisil and India Ratings and the
issue will be settled on Monday. The notes will mature in March
