What are T-bills?

T-bills are short-term debt which are issued by the Government of India to cover its short-term borrowing needs. They are highly liquid and are considered safe investments as they are backed by the government. T-bills come with three different maturity periods with 91 days, 182 days, and 364 days options.

T-bills are sold at a discount to their face value which means that they are sold for less than their nominal value. The return for investors is the difference between the purchase price and the face value.
