RBI Sets 6.45% Interest Rate for Government Floating Rate Bond 2028
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has set the interest rate for the Government of India Floating Rate Bond 2028 at 6.45% per annum for the six-month period from October 4, 2026, to April 3, 2027. This rate is linked to the average yield of recent 182-day Treasury Bills plus a fixed spread of 0.64 percentage points and resets every six months. Investors should note that the coupon rate can fluctuate with market yields and does not guarantee a fixed return until the bond matures in 2028.
