As the name suggests, the reverse repo rate is the exact opposite of the reverse repo rate. The reverse repo rate is the short-term borrowing rate at which the commercial bank places its surplus in the RBI The reserve bank uses this instrument when it thinks there is too much money floating in the banking system. An increase in the reverse repo rate means that banks receive a higher interest rate from the UBI. As a result, banks prefer to lend their money to the RBI, which is always safe, rather than lending it to others (individuals, companies, etc.), which is always risky. The repo rate, also known as the benchmark rate, is the interest rate at which the RBI lends money to commercial banks on a short-term basis (maximum 90 days). If the repo rate rises, borrowing from the RBI becomes more expensive. If the RBI wants to make it more expensive for banks to borrow money, it increases the repo rate in the same way, if it wants to make it cheaper for banks to borrow money, it lowers the repo rate. If the repo rate is increased, banks will not be able to make a profit, whereas exactly the opposite will happen if the repo rate is lowered.
In general, repo rates are lowered whenever the country needs to make progress in the banking and economic sector. In particular, banks cannot force customers to obtain a debit card and cannot tie this to receiving another facility from the bank. The CRR refers to the ratio of the bank`s cash reserves to the bank`s net demand and term liabilities in order to ensure the liquidity and solvency of the proposed banks. Share of net demand and term liabilities that banks are required to hold in cash with the RBI. The RBI has set the CRR at 4.5%[119] A 1% change in the CRR affects the economy by ₹1.37 trillion. [119] An increase removes this amount from the economy, while a decrease injects this amount into the economy. So if a bank has $2 billion ($25 million) of NDTL, it must hold $80 million ($1.0 million) in cash with UBI. RBI does not pay interest on CRR. 22.
January 2014; The RBI issued a press release stating that it would completely withdraw all notes issued before 2005 after March 31, 2014. From 1 April 2014, the public will have to turn to banks to exchange these notes. Banks will exchange these notes until any subsequent communication. The Reserve Bank has also clarified that notes issued before 2005 will continue to be legal tender. This would mean that banks would be obliged to exchange banknotes for their customers and non-customers. However, from 1 July 2014, to exchange more than 15,500 and 1,000 banknotes, non-customers will need to provide proof of identity and residence, as well as an Aadhar at the bank branch where they wish to exchange the notes. Government securities provided by banks as collateral cannot come from the SLR quota (otherwise the SLR will fall below 19.5% of the NDTL and incur penalties).

As part of this measure, the RBI tries to convince the banks through meetings, conferences, specific things to the media under certain economic trends. For example, if the RBI lowers the repo rate, it asks banks to reduce their policy rates as well. Another example of this measure is the call for banks to reduce their non-performing assets. To curb inflation, the RBI raises the repo rate, which will increase the cost of borrowing for banks. Banks will pass on these increased costs to their customers, making borrowing costly across the economy.
Fewer people will apply for loans and overall demand will decrease. This will lead to lower inflation. The RBI is doing the opposite to combat deflation. If the RBI lowers the repo rate, banks are not required by law to lower their own policy rates. According to the revised guidelines of 17.
