So, how do investors make profits? These are zero coupon investments that are issued at a discount to fair value and have a maturity of a year or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example:<\/strong> Let\u2019s consider a T-bill with a face value of INR 1,00,000 of maturity 3 months. The investor buys the T-bills at INR 99,000 (at a discount) and receives INR 1,00,000 after 3 months. In this case, the investors earn INR 1,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-issuers-of-t-bills\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Issuers_of_T-bills\"><\/span>Issuers of T-bills<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">T-bills are issued by the government to meet short-term needs and manage the liquidity. In India, T-bills are issued by the RBI (Reserve Bank of India) on behalf of the government. As of April 2024, we have three different types of T-bills based on the maturity: 91 days, 182 days, and 364 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-did-you-know\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Did_you_know\"><\/span>Did you know?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In India, the Reserve Bank of India issued the first T-bills in 1917.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-do-t-bills-work\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_T-bills_work\"><\/span>How do T-bills work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Working-rafiki.png\" alt=\"How do T-bills Work\" class=\"wp-image-4985\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4\/3;object-fit:cover;width:435px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Working-rafiki-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Working-rafiki-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Working-rafiki-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Working-rafiki-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Working-rafiki-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Working-rafiki.png 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Issuance &#8211;<\/strong> T-bills are issued through auctions, including competitive and non-competitive auctions on behalf of the respective treasury departments or central bank, i.e. the RBI.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Competitive Auctions &#8211; <\/strong>Investors place bids for yield rates they are willing to accept. Until the authorities issue the required securities, the top bids are accepted first.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Non-competitive Auctions &#8211;<\/strong> Investors accept the yield that has been previously decided. Small institutions and individual investors usually prefer this kind of auction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Maturity Period &#8211;<\/strong> T-bills are generally issued for 3 months, 6 months, and a year. Currently, in India, we have T-bills for 91 days, 182 days, and 364 days. Investors may choose the maturity according to their investment time horizon and liquidity needs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Discount \/ Interest &#8211;<\/strong> Unlike other coupon-bearing bonds, T-bills don&#8217;t pay coupons or interest. Instead, the investor earns at the time of maturity when the government repays the face value of the T-bill.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Secondary Market Trading &#8211;<\/strong> T-bills can be traded in the secondary market before maturity, offering liquidity and flexibility to investors. Secondary market trading refers to the buying and selling T-bills between investors before the maturity date, which generally happens on exchanges, i.e., NSE and BSE in India. In the secondary market, the market price of T-bills fluctuates according to the market demand of the securities. Transacting in the secondary markets may incur fees or charges, including brokerage or commissions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A T-bill is said to be at a premium if its market price is greater than the face value. This means that there is more demand than supply in the secondary market. Conversely, if the T-bill has a market price lower than the face value that means it is trading at a discount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-benefits-of-investing-in-t-bills\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Investing_in_T-bills\"><\/span>Benefits of Investing in T-bills<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Safety &#8211;<\/strong> T-bills are safe havens for investors because they are backed by the government. They are preferred by investors who don\u2019t want to take much risk and secure their capital.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Liquidity &#8211;<\/strong> T-bills are highly liquid investments offering flexibility to investors to rebalance or adjust portfolio easily.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Short-term Horizon &#8211; <\/strong>T-bills allow investors to invest for a short-term. They can park their funds temporarily in T-bills while awaiting other investment opportunities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Predictable &#8211; <\/strong>T-bills offer a fixed rate structure, allowing investors to predict the rate of return with certainty, unlike other securities like equity, hedge funds, and many others.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Diversification &#8211;<\/strong> T-bills have a low correlation with other securities like equity and real estate. Including T-bills in the portfolio helps the investors to reduce overall portfolio risk and enhance risk-adjusted returns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read Also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocketful.in\/blog\/why-debt-funds-are-better-than-fixed-deposits-of-banks\/\">Why Debt Funds Are Better Than Fixed Deposits of Banks?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-risks-associated-with-t-bills\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Risks_associated_with_T-bills\"><\/span>Risks associated with T-bills<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Interest Rate Risk: The market price of T-bills fluctuates in the secondary market according to the interest rate. When interest rates rise, T-bills are discounted at a high rate, leading to lower prices and capital loss for investors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inflation Risk: The real rate of return earned on a T-bill may be negative in case inflation exceeds the rate of return earned. This deteriorates the purchasing power of investors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Call Risk &#8211; These risks are associated with only special types of T-bills that are callable T-bills. In callable T-bills, the government has the option to redeem them before their maturity date.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Regulatory or political risk: Political instability or any other regulatory changes may affect the returns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-investing-in-t-bills\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Investing_in_T-bills\"><\/span>Investing in T-bills<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Research-paper-rafiki.png\" alt=\"Investing in T-bills\" class=\"wp-image-4990\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.3333333333333333;object-fit:cover;width:388px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Research-paper-rafiki-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Research-paper-rafiki-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Research-paper-rafiki-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Research-paper-rafiki-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Research-paper-rafiki-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Research-paper-rafiki.png 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investors can invest in T-bills through direct purchase from the treasury or from brokers or dealers.
