What happened

The Government of India is selling two government bonds (dated securities) worth ₹32,000 crore total. One bond matures in 2031 and another in 2066. The auction happens on September 4, 2026, with payment due on September 7, 2026.

Why it matters

The government regularly borrows money from the public and institutions by issuing bonds. These bonds pay a fixed interest rate and return your money on a set date. This is one of the safest investment options available, as the government guarantees repayment.

What to check

  • →Check if your bank or broker allows you to participate in the non-competitive bid segment, which is open to individual investors
  • →Find out the interest rate (called yield) being offered on the new 2031 bond before the auction closes
  • →Look at whether the minimum investment amount of ₹10,000 fits your current savings plan
  • →Consider whether a long-term bond maturing in 2031 or 2066 matches your financial goals and timeline
  • →Ask your bank about the RBI Retail Direct platform, which lets individual citizens buy government bonds directly
