                           `Uniform Price' and `Multiple Price' Auction methods

Let us assume that RBI has notified an amount of ` 300 crore for competitive bidders in a Treasury bill
auction and received the following bids.

Bidders                  Bid Prices               Bid Amount               Cumulative bid
                         (`)                      (` Crore)                amount (` Crore)

A                        98.50                    90                       90

B                        98.40                    60                       150

C                        98.35                    80                       230

D                        98.30                    70                       300

F                        98.00                    30                       415

          Let us assume that the cut-off price fixed in the auction is ` 98.30. Bids upto the cut-off price
i.e. A, B, C & D will be accepted. E & F will be rejected. In the case of the `Uniform Price' auction, each
successful bidder will have to pay @ ` 98.30 irrespective of bid prices individually quoted. The total
amount payable will be (` 98.30/100x300)= ` 294.90 crore; whereas in the case of Multiple Price
Auction, each successful bidder will have to pay the bid price he had offered. The total amount
payable will be [(`98.50/100x 90) + (`98.40/100x 60) + (`98.35/100x80) + (`98.30/100x70)]= ` 295.18
crore.
