The first tranche of ₹50,000 crore will be held on September 17, 2026, followed by ₹25,000 crore each on September 21, 2026, and September 28, 2026.
The securities being offered for sale in the September 17 auction include seven different GS with varying maturities and interest rates. The RBI retains the authority to adjust the quantity sold for individual securities, accept bids below the total amount, sell slightly more or less than the announced figure due to rounding, or reject bids without providing a reason.
Eligible participants are required to submit their bids electronically through the RBI's Core Banking Solution (E-Kuber) system between 9:30 am and 10:30 am on September 17, 2026. In the unlikely event of system failure, physical bids can be submitted to the Financial Markets Operations Department before 10:30 am in the specified format.
The auction results will be announced on the same day, and successful participants must ensure their securities are available in their SGL account by 12 noon on September 18, 2026.
