Treasury Bills and Inflation Control

Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (or TIPS) are the inflation-indexed bonds issued by the RBI Treasury. These securities were first issued in 1997. The principal is adjusted to the Consumer Price Index, the commonly used measure of inflation.

All these companies operated in India but did not insure the lives of Indians. They insured the lives of Europeans living in India.
