Curated by isolating each cash flow from a Government security!
G-SEC STRIPS let investors hold and trade the individual interest and principal components of eligible Government Treasury notes and Government Bonds as separate securities
Created by isolating each of the cash flows from a Government security.
Stripping is the process of separating a standard coupon-bearing bond into its individual coupon and principal components. For example, a 10 year coupon bearing bond can be stripped into 20 coupon and one principal instruments, all of which thenceforth would become zero coupon bonds.

Let’s understand the pricing better with the help of an example
The face value of a G-Strip Bond is Rs 1000. The bond bears a coupon rate of 9% with coupon payments being made at the end of each year. The maturity of the bond is 4 years. If the bond is redeemable at a premium of 11%. What would be the present market price of the bond?
| Years | Cash Flow | PV Factor @ 11% | PV of Cash Flow |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 to 4 | 90 | 3.102 | 279.22 |
| 4 | 1110 | 0.658 | 730.38 |
| Total Present Value : 1009.6 |
