PNB Housing Finance Ltd.'s board of directors approved on Friday the raising of Rs 5,000 crore through the issue of non-convertible debentures, according to an exchange filing.

It will be issued on a private placement basis in one or more tranches, with or without a greenshoe option.

An NCD is a fixed-income instrument that provides structured returns to investors. As NCDs are unsecured and not backed by assets, the market participants evaluate the issuing company's creditworthy and debt-servicing capacity before allotment.
