Pursuant to SEBI circular CIR/IMD/FIIC/6/2013 dated April 01, 2013, henceforth the data of daily debt utilisation status would be disseminated by the depositories (NSDL and CDSL) on their websites, i.e. www.nsdl.co.in and www.cdslindia.com respectively.

While the government announces the limits on debt investments  to FIIs in USD terms, for allocation and monitoring purposes, these limits are converted into INR terms using the RBI reference rate as on the date of the announcements/effective dates.
