To encourage greater and easier participation of small and medium investors in Government Securities (G-Secs), the Government has decided to let these investors buy G-Secs under a non-competitive bidding scheme.

Q. What are G-Secs?

Ans. Government of India issues securities (Government bonds or G-Secs as popularly known) , in order to borrow money from the market. The tenure of G-Secs ranges from one year to twenty-five years. The coupon rate of G-Secs is decided in an auction. The government notifies a date on which it will auction a certain security to borrow a specified amount. The auctions are conducted by the RBI. Any person can submit bids in the auction.

Q. Why should one invest in G-Secs?

Ans. The G-Secs offer safety and security, allow the investor to lock-in investments for attractive returns over a longer duration, and they can be readily sold. Interest earned on G-Secs upto Rs.3000/- is specifically exempted from income tax(Sec. 80L of IT Act). In addition, there is no TDS.

Q. How does the scheme operate?

Ans. The new scheme enables small and medium investors to purchase G-Secs in the auction on a non-competitive basis. Small and medium investors include provident funds, trusts, regional rural banks, urban co-operative banks, non-banking financial companies, corporate bodies, Hindu Undivided Families and also individuals. The investor can participate in the G-Secs auction by giving a simple application to a bank or a primary dealer without having to quote price or rate of interest.

Q. What is the minimum and maximum bid amount?

Ans. Each investor can put in a single bid amounting to a minimum of Rs. 10,000 and a maximum of Rs. One crore.

Q. Will the bidder get a firm allotment ?

Ans. Yes, all retail investors taken together will be allotted G-Secs upto a maximum of 5% of the notified amount.For instance, if the auction of G-Secs is for Rs. 5000 crore, the amount for non-competitive bidders will be Rs.250 crore. If non-competitive bids are more than this amount, all the non-competitive bidders will get proportionate allotment.

Q. At what rate will the non-competitive bidder get the allotment?

Ans. The allotment on non-competitive basis will be done at the weighted average rate that will emerge in the auction.

Q. Where can one get more information on this?

Ans. From any primary dealer or a bank that offers this facility; or through a special URL on RBI website: www.ncgsecs.rbi.org.in
