It may be recalled that in the Calendar for Issuance of Treasury Bills released through the Government of India Press Communiqué dated March 31, 2009, it was announced that the rollover of maturing Treasury Bills from the second quarter onwards, i.e., from July 1, 2009 onwards would be decided by the Government of India in consultation with the Reserve Bank of India.

The Government of India/ Reserve Bank of India will continue to have the flexibility to modify the notified amount and timing for auction of Treasury Bills keeping in view the emerging requirements of the Government, market conditions and other relevant factors. The calendar is thus subject to change, if circumstances so warrant, including for reasons, such as, intervening holidays. Such changes, if any, will be communicated through regular press releases.

The auction of Treasury bills will be subject to the terms and conditions specified in the General Notification No. F 2(12)-W&M/97, dated March 31, 1998 issued by the Government of India, as amended from time to time.
