As hitherto, all the auctions covered by the calendar will have the facility of non-competitive bidding scheme under which five per cent of the notified amount will be reserved for the specified retail investors.

Like in the past, the Government of India/ Reserve Bank of India will continue to have the flexibility to bring about modifications in the above calendar in terms of notified amount, issuance period, maturities etc. and to issue different types of instruments including instruments having non-standard maturity and floating rate instruments depending upon the requirement of the Government of India, evolving market conditions and other relevant factors after giving due notice.

Issuance calendar for marketable dated securities establishes weekly auctions with reserved non-competitive allotment for retail investors. The Government issued a weekly issuance calendar for marketable dated securities over the January-February period, specifying uniform weekly auction volumes allocated across four maturity buckets (5-9, 10-14, 15-19 and 20+ years). Auctions will include a non-competitive bidding scheme reserving five per cent for specified retail investors. The Government and the Reserve Bank retain flexibility to modify notified amounts, issuance periods, maturities and to issue non-standard or floating rate instruments depending on financing requirements and market conditions, after due notice.
