RBI announces reissue of two Govt securities worth Rs 32000 crore
A 're-issue' means the RBI is selling more of a bond that is already available in the securities market. This move is part of the government's regular borrowing program.
The two securities being re-issued are the 6.92 per cent Government Security (GS) maturing on November 18, 2039, and the 6.90 per cent GS maturing on April 15, 2065. Each of these bonds will be issued for Rs 16,000 crore.
Additionally, the RBI has kept the option open to accept up to Rs 2,000 crore extra for each security, depending on market demand.
According to the RBI's announcement on Monday, the auction will be held on Friday, June 6, 2025. The settlement, when investors make payments and receive the securities, will take place on Monday, June 9, 2025.
The sale will be conducted through the RBI's Core Banking Solution system, known as e-Kuber. Both competitive and non-competitive bids can be submitted electronically on the day of the auction.
Non-competitive bids will be accepted between 12:30 p.m. and 1:00 p.m., while competitive bids can be submitted between 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m.
The auction will follow a multiple price method, meaning successful bidders will receive the securities at the prices they quote.
The central bank also stated that primary dealers can bid for underwriting a part of the issue through the Additional Competitive Underwriting (ACU) facility. These bids will be accepted from 10:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on the same day.
The securities will be available for 'When Issued' trading from June 3 to June 6, allowing early trading before the official issuance. Retail investors can also participate through the RBI Retail Direct platform.
Moreover, 5 per cent of the notified amount is reserved for eligible individuals and institutions under the non-competitive bidding scheme. This auction is part of the RBI's regular debt management process and offers a secure investment opportunity to investors.
The Indian economy grew by 6.5 per cent in real terms in the recently concluded financial year 2024-25, Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation's official data showed.

Integrated sub-registrar offices to be launched in Telangana
The Telangana government will introduce integrated sub-registrar offices to provide efficient, transparent and corruption-free services to citizens. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy will lay the foundation stone for the first Integrated Sub-Registrar Office on August 20 in the premises of the Telangana Academy of Land Information and Management (TALIM) at Gachibowli. Revenue Miniter Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy told mediapersons that the government has decided to restructure and integrate existing sub-registrar offices to improve efficiency, reduce corruption and speed up document processing. In the first phase, 39 sub-registrar offices across Hyderabad, Rangareddy, Medchal and Sangareddy districts will be consolidated into 11 integrated offices. The Gachibowli facility will serve as a role model for other offices. Additional integrated offices are being planned at Koheda (for Abdullapur, Pedda Amberpet, Hayathnagar and Vanasthalipuram offices), Mankhal (for Maheshwaram, Ibrahimpatnam, Shamshabad offices), Kandlakoya (for Medchal, Quthbullapur, Keesara, Shamirpet offices), Boduppal (for Uppal, Narapally, Kapra, Ghatkesar, Malkajgiri offices), Banjara Hills (for Banjara Hills, SR Nagar, Golconda offices) and Malakpet (for Azampura, Charminar, Doodhbowli offices). Locations have also been identified for four more integrated buildings to cover 13 additional sub-registrar offices, he said. Mr. Srinivas Reddy said that the slot booking system, introduced from April 10 in phases across all 144 sub-registrar offices, has been a huge success. Since June 2, the system has been fully operational State-wide, with nearly three lakh slot bookings registered so far. To further streamline services, the government has piloted e-Aadhaar authentication at Armoor (Nizamabad district) and Kusumanchi (Khammam district) sub-registrar offices, and plans are afoot to roll it out across the State soon. The Minister clarified that the government doesn't view the Stamps and Registration department merely as a revenue source. 'Our priority is to provide citizens with fast, transparent and corruption-free services. Slot booking has already saved people valuable time, and with e-Aadhaar integration registrations will become even quicker,' he said.
