Note: Auction of INR 29,108 crore in Government Debt category (i.e. INR 4,487 crore in Government Debt old category and INR 24,621 crore in Govt Debt long term category) shall be done on the BSE from 15:30 hrs to 17:30 hrs on April 22, 2013 as per SEBI circular no. CIR/IMD/FIIC/12/2012 dated April 27, 2012, SEBI circular no. CIR/IMD/FIIC/3/2013 dated February 08, 2013 and SEBI circular CIR/IMD/FIIC/6/2013 dated April 01, 2013

Beginning April 01, 2013, FIIs can invest in Corporate Debt without purchasing debt limits till the overall investment reaches 90% after which the auction mechanism would be initiated for allocation of the remaining limits.

Pursuant to SEBI circular CIR/IMD/FIIC/6/2013 dated April 01, 2013, henceforth the data of daily debt utilisation status would be disseminated by the depositories (NSDL and CDSL) on their websites, i.e. www.nsdl.co.in and www.cdslindia.com respectively.

While the government announces the limits on debt investments to FIIs in USD terms, for allocation and monitoring purposes, these limits are converted into INR terms using the RBI reference rate as on the date of the announcements/effective dates.
