Reserve Bank of India (RBI) which came out with quarterly monetary policy review today on october 27th 2009 , has decided to keep all the key rates like repo or reverse repo and the CRR steady and has hiked the statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) to 25% from 24%. What is SLR (Statutory Liquidity Ratio) : This is infact to protect us , RBI demands that there should be certain amount that Bank needs to keep in the form of cash or or gold or govt. approved securities (Bonds) and the ramining is only they have to give it to customers either as credit in any form , as loan or mortgage or something .This will really help RBI to control the expansion of Bank Credits.Now RBI has increased the rate by 1 percent , which means that the banks have to either invest in gold or government securities , this is something like repayment for the money that RBI let out to the banking system , This percentange comes to effect from from 7 November 2009.This means that the cash reserve in banks hand will go down by 1 percent or so .
