The result of the auction will be announced on the same day and payment to successful participants will be made on the following day, RBI said.
OMOs are financial tools to either inject or suck out liquidity from the system. When the liquidity is tight, money is pumped into the market by purchase of government securities.
While in the case of surplus, the excess money is sucked out by selling of government bonds.
