Oct 03 (Reuters) - The Reserve Bank of India has issued bonds
and treasury bills under the Market Stabilisation Scheme (MSS)
totalling 435.00 billion rupees since the current financial
year began on April 2008 .
The government has issued 91-day treasury bills worth 165.00
billion rupees, 182-days treasury bill worth 70.00 billion
rupees, 364-day treasury bills worth 90.00 billion and bonds
worth 110.00 billion rupees.

Under the MSS scheme, the central bank issues bonds to soak
up the additional cash in the banking system generated by its
own intervention.

Though it sells treasury bills under this scheme weekly, it
resumed selling dated securities from March 2006 after a gap of
nearly 18 months.

According to the central bank's website, the total
outstanding balance under the MSS stood at 1175.99 billion
rupees as on Sep 21 2008,below a self-imposed limit of 2.48
trillion rupees.
