  5. Each investor will be allowed to submit one bid in single tenor of each GIS offered in the auction; in case of submission of multiple bids in an auction by a single investor, all such bids would be treated as void. Further, the ceiling for one investor will be linked with pre-auction target i.e. 0.25% of the auction target of each GIS subject to minimum of Rs. 25 million and maximum of Rs. 500 million.

  1. If the amount of bids submitted up to the cut-off (margin/rental rate), in a particular tenor, is more than the required amount; an amount lower than the total amount offered at the cut-off can be accepted.

  2. In case it is decided to accept bids on a pro-rata volume basis, PDs will be allocated an amount equivalent to their proportion in the total bids submitted at the given cut-off (margin/rental rate).
