MUMBAI, March 13 (Reuters) - India's central bank has met with officials from state-run banks to discuss a jump in bond yields, which analysts say is undermining monetary policy and threatening to ramp up the cost of government borrowing, sources said on Friday.

Two industry sources said senior bank officials met in individual meetings with the central bank to talk about bond yields in the run up to the end of the fiscal year on March 31.

One state bank official who attended a meeting with deputy governor Shyamala Gopinath and some of her team said the talks were mainly about the state of the government bond market and the amount of bank deposits invested in bonds.

"The meeting was to take stock of what is happening in the bond markets and listening to our feedback, rather than them asking us what suggestions we can give them," another bank official who was briefed on the outcome of a meeting said.

A central bank spokeswoman did not comment on the matter.

Banks have to invest 24 percent of their deposits in federal bonds but their holdings in early January stood at 28.9 percent, central bank data showed, which could indicate bank appetite to buy more bonds will be limited.

At Friday's high of 7.37 percent, the yield on the most-traded 8.24 percent 2018 federal bond IN082418G=CC has jumped 62 basis points this week, and more than 100 basis points this month.

It is up more than 200 basis points so far this year, even as the central bank has cut its key policy rates by 100 basis points in two moves.

Among the state-run banks who met the central bank on Thursday were Punjab National Bank (PNBK.BO), Union Bank of India (UNBK.BO), and Bank of Baroda (BOB.BO), the sources said.

A total of five banks including State Bank of India (SBI.BO), the country's biggest lender, have met the central bank since last week. An association of primary dealers met two weeks ago.

SUPPLY FEARS

Analysts say the meetings reflect the central bank's difficulty in trying to manage a big slab of government borrowing planned at the tail end of the fiscal year when state-run banks are closing their books.
