    Solution

    In August 2025, the Reserve Bank of India launched Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) for Treasury Bills and an auto-bidding facility on its Retail Direct platform. The SIP enables small, periodic investments in T-Bills (short-term debt instruments with maturities from 14 to 364 days), while auto-bidding automates participation in primary auctions. These measures aim to promote disciplined savings, improve liquidity, and encourage wider retail participation in government securities.
