About These Rates

Repo Rate

The rate at which the RBI lends short-term money to commercial banks. A higher repo rate makes borrowing costlier, controlling inflation.

Reverse Repo Rate

The rate at which the RBI borrows money from commercial banks. It absorbs liquidity from the banking system.

CRR (Cash Reserve Ratio)

The percentage of a bank's net demand and time liabilities (NDTL) that must be held as cash with the RBI.

SLR (Statutory Liquidity Ratio)

The percentage of NDTL banks must maintain in government securities, gold, or cash before extending credit.

MSF Rate (Marginal Standing Facility)

The rate at which banks can borrow overnight from the RBI against government securities in an emergency. Always above repo rate.

Bank Rate

The rate at which the RBI discounts bills of exchange. Used as a penal rate for shortfalls in CRR/SLR maintenance.
