Face Value

Face value is the amount that is to be paid to an investor at the maturity date of the security. Debt securities can be issued at varying face value, however in India they typically have a face value of Rs.100. The face value is also known as Repayment amount, Redemption value, Maturity value or Par value, Principle value or simply Principle.

Coupon

The rate of interest paid on a debt security as calculated on the basis of security's face value.

Coupon Frequency

Coupon payments are made at regular intervals throughout the life of a debt security and may be quarterly, semi-annual (twice a year) or annual payments.

Accrued Interest

The accrued Interest interest on a bond is the amount of interest accumulated in a bond since the last coupon payment. The interest has been earned, but because the coupons are paid only on coupon dates, the investor has not gained the money yet. In India day count convention on G-Secs is 30/360.
