01 November 2024 On the RBI retail platform, a retail investor can buy 90/180/365 days treasury bills at a discount, and they mature at par, the difference being the interest earned. For example, T-bill bought at 98 would mature at 100. Would this difference be deemed as "Capital Gain" or "Income from other sources"? I suppose capital gain/loss would arise only when the bond is sold in the market.
