I know its bit unrelated.
Better to buy T-bills in secondary market, there's illiquidity so you get better prices for low volume transactions. I've traded up to 1L in the secondary market with 3 month yields at 7%
Guess during listing of a new bill this can happen. Saw with last t bill n kept as a note

What's the advantage of Tbill over say liquid funds that give similar returns? Both come under slab rate for taxation. Tbill is Sovereign guaranteed, but so are some liquid funds that invest mostly in govt tbills.

Personally, I find ease of investing in liquid funds better.

I feel the return u get out of t bill is slightly higher than liquid fund and if we invest in those accounts where there is no tax liability then it's better return than liquid funds for short term

That's true. But liquidity is a problem when it comes to tbills. So liquid funds are much better in that aspect.

Can you clarify which accounts are you referring to with no tax liability? I am curious.
