The RBI is the Reserve Bank of India, India's central bank. It issues government securities as a way of borrowing money to be used by the government. As you say, these debt instruments carry a sovereign guarantee and are therefore seen as absolutely secure.
There are many types of government securities issued by RBI:
- Dated securities with a fixed maturity date
- Zero coupon bonds
- Partly paid stock
- Floating rate bonds
- Capital indexed bonds
There is not space to discuss these at any length here. Please follow the links for more information.
