Investment in Government Securities

#1

Hi @PravinJ ,

  1. How to invest in government securities (T-Bill, SDL, Long dated bonds) at Dhan since liquidity is issue in these securities? (I guess Zerodha plays role of market maker and make it easy for clients) Any plans for this investment segment?

  2. Dhan accepts GS for pledging, however, if I’ve GS with other broker (other demate account) OR with RDG account, is there any workaround for pledging at Dhan to generate margin collateral for FnO trading?

Zerodha

Hey @t7support @amit ,

For some reason we missed this.

  1. Assuming that you are talking about primary investment, the answer to your question is yes, you can invest in government securities through Dhan. However the process is offline as of now. You can send us an email with the details of your investment and we will be happy to execute it for you. In the times to come you can expect this process to become online.

  2. Dhan does accept government securities for pledging so long as they are in your Dhan demat account. We will not be able to pledge shares present in other broker or RDG accounts.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,
Pranita

Thanks. Searched today and it seems T-Bills, GSec, SGB etc are available in Dhan. If we buy these can these be pledged ?

Hi @Pranita @PravinJ ,

I don’t find any TBILL being listed in the google sheet shared by Dhan.

Can you please confirm that TBILL can be pledged?

Hi @PravinJ ,

If you can answer the question, it would be of great help.

Hey @amit ,

TBill can be pledged. However, we will unpledge instruments such as Gsec, Tbill, a month before their redemption. This is as per risk policy since we will cease to have control on the security once redeemed in user’s account.

@Pranita can you please confirm that all GSEC bonds can be pledged?
I have GOI LOAN 6.69% 2024, and its not there in this list:

And it shows under “Unavailable for Pledge” in Dhan UI.

Hey @trader810 , GSec bonds cannot be pledged currently at Dhan. However, we are working on making this available for our users soon.

Thanks,
Pranita
