The NCDs were allotted on June 7, 2023, and had different maturity dates for each series. The details of the maturity dates were as follows: Series 11A was scheduled to mature on June 7, 2031 (10,000 NCDs), Series 11B on June 7, 2032 (10,000 NCDs), Series 11C on June 7, 2033 (10,000 NCDs), Series 11D on June 7, 2031 (10,000 NCDs), Series 11E on June 7, 2032 (10,000 NCDs), and Series 11F on June 7, 2033 (10,000 NCDs).
