  1. i have apply on jan 20 2012 but still i have not received any advice for allotment and not received refunds.

    1. check the allotment status at above link.
      If you have alloted the bonds then don’t think any cause of worry.
      Physical certificate will receive in due course.

      1. it’s not show message no data find so now what i can you contact to company or write letter to company and sebi.

  2. Hi,
    Thanks for the information on REC….I recently visited the blog,{ Blog name removed by Author as there was a malware warning against the blog name} which also has mentioned another tax saving investment avenue by the way IFCI Infrastructure Bonds (Series IV).
    Thanks,
    VR
