The cancelled bonds belongs to the series of sovereign bonds and thus the move made by the RBI was told that it is showing the unwillingness of the government to borrow the bonds at a very high rate and also the government’s position of surplus cash. Marketers and traders also give many other reasons for the move of RBI. But the majority says the same reason of surplus cash and unwillingness.

This move would also help the government to prevent itself from higher rates. This move makes sense that the government has surplus cash now.
