RBI, IFSCA & other

RBI's overnight VRRR auction draws bids for over 90% of the notified amount, its strongest cover of the current run. Wednesday's overnight Variable Rate Reverse Repo auction (notified ₹5,00,000 crore, for reversal on 3 September) drew and fully accepted ₹4,59,843 crore in offers at a 5.24% cut-off and weighted average rate — a sharp rebound from Monday's combined 15-day/overnight rounds, which absorbed under 40% of a ₹10 lakh crore offer, and Tuesday's 7-day round, which drew under a fifth of its ₹6,00,000 crore notified amount. RBI has since notified a fresh overnight VRRR auction for today, 3 September, sized at ₹6,00,000 crore, with the auction window 9:30–10:00am and reversal on 4 September. RBI press releases
