Thursday, September 9, 2010

The rate of interest on the Floating Rate Bonds, 2013 (FRB, 2013) applicable for the year (September 10, 2010 to September 9, 2011) shall be 6.91 per cent per annum.

The mark-up decided in the auction held on September 9, 2004 was (+) 0.45 per cent (plus 45 basis points). The coupon rate has thus been fixed at 6.91 per cent.
