RBI RETAIL DIRECT

RBI RETAIL DIRECT is a Chrome extension designed to help retail investors understand how to open and maintain the RBI's Retail Direct Gilt (RDG) account with the RBI.

It explains that investors can place non-competitive bids in the primary issuance of Central Government securities (including Treasury Bills and Sovereign Gold Bonds) and can apply for Floating Rate Savings Bond 2020 (Taxable) by opening a Bond Ledger Account (BLA) through the RBI Retail Direct Portal. The extension also notes that there are no fees to open or maintain the RDG account.
