--RBI Malhotra: To expand functionality in RBI Retail Direct
MUMBAI – The Reserve Bank of India will widen the scope of the central bank Retail Direct platform which will provide retail investors an access to invest in treasury bills through systemic investment plans. The prospect to expand the platoform's functionality was one of the three consumer-centric announcements which Governor Sanjay Malhotra detailed while announcing the outcome of the monetary policy meeting on Wednesday.
In November 2021, the central bank had launched the RBI retail direct facility where individual investors can make an account and directly invest in government securities and sovereign gold bonds. The RBI has also launched the 'Retail Direct' mobile application on May 28, 2024, a portal for retail investors to conveniently invest in government securities. End
