A corporate bond is a debt instrument used by corporations. The borrower of the securities promises to pay fixed periodic interest till the maturity period and at the end maturity value or face value as well. The interest payment is called coupon payment. In the issuance of a bond the legal document indenture is prepared which specifies the right and duties and all the terms and conditions related to the bonds.

Debenture Bonds are the type of Corporate Bonds that are not backed by Any kind of Collateral.
