The RBI said it reserves the right to decide the quantum of purchase of individual securities, accept offers for less than the notified amount, or purchase marginally higher or lower amounts due to rounding off. It may also accept or reject any or all offers, either wholly or partially, without assigning reasons.

Eligible participants are required to submit their bids electronically on the RBI's E-Kuber system between 9:30 am and 10:30 am on December 18, RBI said.

Physical bids will be accepted only in the event of a system failure. The results of the auction will be announced on the same day, while successful participants must ensure the availability of securities in their SGL accounts by noon on December 19, 2025, it added. (ANI)
