The features of the commercial paper are

  • A.It is an unsecured instrument issued in the form of promissory note.
  • B.The highly rated corporate borrowers can raise short term funds through this instrument.
  • C.It is an additional instrument to the investing community.
  • D.All of the above

Answer: D

Correct answer: All of the above

All three statements describe commercial paper correctly. It is an unsecured money market instrument issued in the form of a promissory note, backed by nothing but the issuer's standing - which is why only highly rated corporates can issue it, and why it is a route for them to raise short-term funds more cheaply than by bank borrowing.

From the other side of the market it gives investors an additional short-dated instrument to hold. In India it is issued at a discount to face value with maturities from seven days to one year, and issuers must meet minimum credit rating and net worth conditions.
