2. Cut off amount per unit is showing as 106 for face value 100, Is this dirty price ?
3. Indicate yield is mentioned as 6.67%
4. If the price is 106, then yield will be 6.41%, Please clarify my understanding.

Bhuvan explained about this in a different thread -

@Bhuvan

When you submit a bid, since the auction price is unknown, the exchanges block an extra amount. Based on the actual yield discovered in the auction, your money will be refunded.

@Bhuvan

The price of the bond is yet unknown and will be discovered in the auction. And hence the exchanges block a little extra to account for that and you’ll get a refund if the price is lesser. Post that, you’ll know the effective YTM fo the bond you’ve purchased.
