RBI keeps key rates unchanged at 6.75 pc
Mumbai, Feb 2 (IBNS) On expected lines, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) kept its policy repo rate under the liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) unchanged at 6.75 per cent, announced RBI Governor Raghuram G. Rajan on Tuesday.
Repo rate is the rate at which the central bank of a country (RBI) lends money to commercial banks in the event of any shortfall of funds.
RBI said it has decided to keep the cash reserve ratio (CRR) of scheduled banks unchanged at 4.0 per cent of net demand and time liability (NDTL).
It will continue to provide liquidity under overnight repos at 0.25 per cent of bank-wise NDTL at the LAF repo rate and liquidity under 14-day term repos as well as longer term repos of up to 0.75 per cent of NDTL of the banking system through auctions; and continue with daily variable rate repos and reverse repos to smooth liquidity.
Consequently, the reverse repo rate under the LAF will remain unchanged at 5.75 per cent, and the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate and the Bank Rate at 7.75 per cent.
