Is there any period of limitation of Governments liability in respect of interest due on Government security?
Yes. The liability of the Government in respect of any interest payment due on a Government security shall terminate on the expiry of six years from the date on which the amount due by way of interest became payable, i.e., investors are expected to claim interest on their Government security within six years from the date it becomes payable and Government may refuse to pay such unclaimed interest payment after six years. However, Government may allow a bonafide claim for payment of interest even after the expiry of the limitation period of six years.
