Mumbai, Jun 4 (IANS): The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has allowed authorised dealer banks to provide margin money facility to Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPI) for their transactions in Government Securities (G-Sec).

The move is aimed at encouraging investments by FPIs in the Indian debt market.

Announcing the measure, RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das said that the provision would ease operational constraints faced by FPIs and promote ease of doing business.
