Question
Consider the following statements: 1. The Reserve
Bank of India manages and services Government of India Securities but not any State Government Securities. 2. Treasury bills are issued by the Government of India and there are no treasury bills issued by the State Governments. 3. Treasury bills offer are issued at a discount from the par value. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?Solution
RBI is public debt manager for both state and union Governments, so 1 is wrong. According to Dept of Economic Affairs, Short-term debt of the Central Government on residual maturity basis includes 14-day intermediate treasury bills, regular treasury bills, dated securities maturing in the ensuing one year and external debt with remaining maturity of less than one year. Short-term debt of State Governments comprises internal debt that includes market loans maturing within next one year, and repayment of loans to Centre. Therefore, 2 is right. T-bills are sold at discount and re-purchased at par value (face value). So, 3 is right.
