Frequently asked
What is a Treasury Bill?+
A T-Bill is a short-term debt instrument issued by the Government of India through the RBI. They mature in 91, 182, or 364 days and pay no coupon. Investors buy them at a discount to face value, and the yield is the implied annualised return at maturity. They're the closest thing to a 'risk-free' rupee investment.
What does FBIL publish here?+
FBIL aggregates daily traded yields across the secondary T-Bill market and publishes a benchmark valuation for each maturity bucket. This is what mutual funds and corporates use to mark T-Bill portfolios to market.
Why does the 7-day rate matter?+
The 7-day T-Bill rate is the closest market proxy for the RBI's effective short-term policy stance. When it drifts away from the repo rate, that's a signal about banking-system liquidity.
How does this affect my FD rate?+
Bank FD rates broadly track sovereign short rates with a spread on top. A falling T-Bill curve usually signals lower FD rates ahead (banks reprice quickly downward). A rising curve takes longer to feed through.
