What do you mean by 1/85? Can multiple coop banks not default? Will insurance cover each bank? And when there is default, how long do you think it will be before the insurance pays back and will they pay my interest ?
Anyway, i dont see any rationale of investing in them, given their questionable management and track record. Why will i take all of this hassle, Debt Mutual Funds have given me 9 -11 % annualized returns for few years. This will reduce in future but real returns ( Interest - inflation) should still be fine. I see my capital much more secure and diversified in them. I also get indexation after 3 years.
i cannot see why he should take risk with these banks for mediocre returns, when Thread starter does not even want to take risk in equity (which i think should be reconsidered as investment is for 10+ years. i have much more returns from equity than debt over last 10 years and it is more than 10% compounded).

Rest, I agree with all your opinions about debt funds and equity. I am a BIG fan of debt myself.
Coming to indexation is possible to post capital loss in income tax aswell using indexation.
