It is common among one of these banks to use such even though there is no major relevance to it. What issues are you having with the form?

Assuming there's no penal charges like that of Union Bank, the answer to your question is that you are very likely to lose substantial part of the upfront interest paid to you.

Assuming you bought N1,000,000 TB on 1st Jan at 12% for 364days, your upfront interest before the usual deductions is N120,000.

Also, assuming you terminate on 30th August, the actual interest you will be entitled to for the 243days= 243/364 × N120,000 = N80,109.89.

That means you are to refund N39,890.11 as excess interest received.

Now, the 1m is now to be sold at 18% for the remaining 121days>> the upfront interest payable to the new buyer is 121/364 × N1,000,000 x 18/100 = N59,835.17. That amount (N59,835.17) will equally be charged on you i.e your total refund or deduction from your 1m is now N99,725.28 since you have been paid N120,000 upfront. This is the amount you would lose excluding other normal charges which are very unlikely to be up to the N20,274.72 left out of the N120,000 you received as upfront interest.

So, in a nut shell, you will be losing almost but not all the upfront interest you collected without affecting your principal (assuming there is no penal charge of 25% as it's charged by Union Bank). Otherwise, the penal charge will eat into your Principal amount

If he doesn't have up to N99,725. 28 in his account, does it mean he will lose part of his Principal? Most people normally withdraw or reinvest their interest and leave nothing or small coins in their account.

Sure. It will be deducted from his principal amount and that doesn't mean that he has lost part of his principal since he was paid N120,000 upfront.

It's still part of his upfront interest that is being lost as long as it's not up to the N120,000 he collected earlier grin grin grin

It is very simple. Let's take this scenario. At the time of buying a generator you were given 12% discount and you paid N200,000. Now assuming that generator is still of the same value and you are now to sell it, and the government says you must give 18% discount, wouldn't you lose some money? Again it depends too on how long you have held the generator. Oga TONY56's explanation will shed more light. I have simply used a layman's way to try to let you know how it works.

Hmmm...

Is the N59,835.17 then not supposed to replace the N39,890.11 as the amount to be refunded/deducted from the original 120k upfront payment, leaving him with N60,164.83 balance as the net interest earned?

Does summing both up not amount to double penalty?

Just wondering.

Well done Sir. What if I bought in the secondary market? Can I terminate my investment too??

Is it the same scenario illustrated above that applies. If not ,can you throw some light on how terminating in the secondary market works.

Pple insist interest is upfront because unlike fixed deposit and other forms of investment where interest are paid at interval or at expiration, your TB interest is paid to you immediately your bid is accepted except if you request for it to be invested with the principal. You will only get your complete principal at the expiration of the agreed tenure of investment.

I disagree, the difference between the price you paid for the T-bill and the full amount at redemption is supposed to be your interest. No investment pays interest upfront, none.
Re: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by ositadima1(m): 6:35pm On Jan 29, 2018
Interest rate: [(Amount - Principal)/Principal] *100

Discount rate: [(Amount - Principal)/Amount] *100

Interest rates calculate how much a present sum of money will be worth in the future at a certain rate of growth and you use discount rates to determine what present sum of money you need to reach a particular future value at a given rate of growth.

I must confess that I have never bought and terminated a TB bought at secondary market before so I don't know if TB purchased at secondary market can be terminated before maturity.
But I am sure that if it's possible to terminate it, same scenario illustrated above will apply
