2. With a view to meeting the diverse needs of investors and making Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities (STRIPS) more aligned with market requirements, it has been decided to revise the existing guidelines.

(i) The securities are reckoned as eligible investment for the purpose of Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR).

(ii) The securities are transferable.

Placing of Requests

(b) Market participants, having an SGL account with RBI can place requests directly in e-kuber for stripping/reconstitution.

(c) Requests for stripping/reconstitution by Gilt Account Holders (GAH) shall be placed with the respective Custodian maintaining the CSGL account, who in turn, will place the requests on behalf of its constituents in e-kuber.
