As a young professional, there’s enough going on in your life that building your wealth may feel like a far-off fantasy. And while a traditional 401(k) is a great place to start, there are also other methods that can help supplement your savings. Creating an investment portfolio is one simple⎯ and practical⎯ option to help grow your funds. Can you help in finding me how to invest in Bonds in India?

I got the answer from another Resources.
Adding to the previous statement, bonds are secured investment instruments that offer safer returns and comfortable tenure. When you buy a bond, you are issued a certificate with interest rate promised by the issuer for a fixed period of time and then the loan that you lend the entity pays you back on the date of maturity. Once you invest in bonds, you are creating a secondary source of income for yourself and a well-balanced investment portfolio that will help you when the stock market gets volatile and other investments aren’t performing well. Bonds also help you diversify the portfolio and reduce risk. Bonds are sold in the primary market as well as the secondary market. Primary bond market is where two parties deal with each other, the issuing company and the investor. A secondary bond market is where bonds that are issued and purchased in the primary market are traded among investors. Earlier, investing in bonds was a long and tedious process. One had to go to a broker with their documents ,choose from a limited bond options ,sign a few papers, before getting the bonds issued to themselves in the form of certificates or a deposit in the DEMAT account. The whole operation would take up to a week or more in some cases. With the furtherance of technology, this process has become completely paperless, super-quick, and easy.
In the primary bond market, the investor will be needed to fill in a form and submit the application along with the required documents and on allotment , bond to be deposited in their DEMAT account. In the secondary bond market, bonds can be traded provided they are available for investors to do the trading.
While there are now platforms available for investors to search through the sea of bonds available with them, BondsIndia is also very well known that anyone can now invest in bonds in India from their comfort of their house, anytime using mobile apps or websites.
