ℹ
Dedicated Account Category
Bonds are organized under a dedicated Bonds Account (
category = bond), giving you full visibility over coupon yields, Yield to Maturity (YTM), interest payout schedules, Demat settlement details, joint owners, and maturity timelines.
1. How to Set Up a Bond Account
Before adding individual bond investments, create a dedicated Bond Account in Wevanta:
- Navigate to Accounts → Add Account (or
/accounts/create). - Select Category:
Bonds(under Investments). - Enter an Account Name (e.g., "RBI & Corporate Bonds Account", "GoldenPi Portfolio", or "Zerodha Coin Bonds").
- Select the Primary Account Owner / Family Member.
- Click Save Account.

2. Adding a Bond Investment
Once your Bond Account is created, open the account detail page (/accounts/{account_id}/detail) and click ➕ Add Bond.
