Platform to Invest in Bonds

Hi @StonePitbull

I would really appreciate if you could share your experience on RBI retail direct. Few of my questions are below.

1. How easy/difficult was it to open your account.
2. How is the platform. Does it give good information about your investments.
3. How liquid is GOI 10yrs bond and what is the spread
4. Is there any transaction cost.
5. Does it provide all the calculations. Like current notional profit/loss, accrued interest, YTM, CMP of bond,
6. Does it show other types of available bonds like zero coupon, floating rate, callable, putable, convertible etc.
7. How is your overall experience and how satisfied you are.
