For those considering safe investments in government bonds, a favorable opportunity is opening up. The government plans to issue two types of old bonds. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is conducting a government bond auction worth 32,000 crore rupees on Friday, July 10th.
Auction Participation Terms
Not only large investors but also ordinary citizens can invest in these bonds. The auction process will be conducted entirely online. Government bonds are considered a reliable investment as they guarantee a fixed return for investors.
Trading Details
The purchase of bonds must be made on the RBI's e-Kuber platform on July 10th. The non-competitive auction will take place from 10:30 to 11:00, while competitive bids will be accepted from 10:30 to 11:30. If the application is approved, payment must be made on July 13th, and the auction results will be announced on July 10th.
