Dear Sir/Madam,

A reference is invited to Para A.1 of the Master Direction on Relief/Savings Bonds dated July 1, 2016 under which agency banks can enrol/register brokers for distribution of Relief/Savings bonds. A reference is also invited to the Para 12 of (Master Direction) Standalone Primary Dealers (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2016 giving a list of permitted activity for the Standalone Primary Dealers.

Yours faithfully
