How to invest in government securities like G-Secs, T-Bills, and SDLs through the secondary markets?
You can invest in G-Secs, T-Bills, and SDLs via FYERS platforms in the secondary market, just like you would trade equities. These instruments are listed on the NSE and are available for buying through FYERS.
Steps to invest via secondary market
- Login to FYERS: Access FYERS (Web & App) or FYERS Next using your credentials.
- Search for the security: Enter the symbol or name of the G-Sec, T-Bill, or SDL you're interested in.
- Initiate purchase:
- Click on 'Buy'
- Switch to the 'Overnight' mode
- Enter the quantity
- Place and confirm your order
- Order execution: Your order will be executed based on the market’s current bid/ask availability.
What if...
| Scenario | Resolution |
|---|---|
| Security doesn't show in search | Check NSE symbol format or use the Debt Market Watch to find the correct code. |
| Order not getting filled | These instruments may have limited liquidity; use limit orders and check depth before placing. |
Because liquidity in the bond segment can be low, avoid large market orders and check the Bid-Ask spread before placing trades.
