The Government of India is re-issuing four dated securities with a combined notified amount of ₹16,000 crore. The auction will be conducted through a price-based uniform price method on the RBI's E-Kuber platform. Key dates: auction on May 9, 2014, and settlement on May 12, 2014.
What it means for you
Banks and primary dealers must prepare to bid in this auction, which offers securities maturing in 2020, 2023, 2032, and 2042. The uniform price method means all successful bidders pay the same price. Non-competitive bidding is available for eligible individuals and institutions, with allotment at the weighted average rate.
Historical instruction — do not use for current compliance. This is what was required at the time; it no longer reflects current RBI requirements. If no replacement rule is linked above, that only means none is recorded on our register yet — it does not prove no later applicable rule exists. Confirm on the official RBI source below.
What banks were required to do at the time
Submit competitive and non-competitive bids electronically on E-Kuber by the deadlines on May 9, 2014.
Ensure non-competitive bids are consolidated per bank/PD and submitted between 10:30 AM and 11:30 AM.
Verify that the aggregate amount of bids per person does not exceed the notified amount of the auction.
Prepare for settlement on May 12, 2014, and note that securities qualify for ready forward and 'When Issued' trading from May 6-9, 2014.
