Repo Rate: The (fixed) interest rate at which the Reserve Bank provides short-term
(overnight) liquidity to banks against the collateral of government and other approved
securities under the liquidity adjustment facility (LAF). The LAF consists of
overnight and term repo auctions. Progressively, the Reserve Bank has increased the
proportion of liquidity injected in the LAF through term-repos (of up to 56 days) at
variable rates. The aim of term repo is to help develop inter-bank term money market,
which in turn can set market based benchmarks for pricing of loans and deposits, and
through that improve transmission of monetary policy.
Reverse Repo Rate: The (fixed) interest rate (currently 50 bps below the repo rate) at
which the Reserve Bank absorbs short-term liquidity, generally on an overnight basis,
from banks against the collateral of government and other approved securities under
the LAF. The Reserve Bank also conducts variable interest rate reverse repo auctions,
as necessary.
Marginal Standing Facility (MSF): A facility under which scheduled commercial
banks can borrow additional amount of overnight money from the Reserve Bank by
dipping into their Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) portfolio up to a limit (currently
two per cent of their net demand and time liabilities deposits) at a penal rate of
interest, currently 50 basis points above the repo rate. This provides a safety valve
against unanticipated liquidity shocks to the banking system. MSF rate and reverse
repo rate determine the corridor for the daily movement in the weighted average call
money rate.
Bank Rate: It is the rate at which the Reserve Bank is ready to buy or rediscount bills
of exchange or other commercial papers. This rate has been aligned to the MSF rate
and, therefore, changes automatically as and when the MSF rate changes alongside
policy repo rate changes.
Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR): The share of net demand and time liabilities that banks
must maintain as cash balance with the Reserve Bank.
Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR): The share of net demand and time liabilities that
banks must maintain in safe and liquid assets, such as, unencumbered government
securities, cash and gold. Changes in SLR often influence the availability of resources
in the banking system for lending to the private sector.
Open Market Operations (OMOs): These include both outright purchase/sale of
government securities for injection/absorption of durable liquidity, respectively.

Phase I:
The Genera; Bank of India was set up in the year 1786. Next came
Bank of Hindustan and Bengal Bank. The East India Company
established Bank of Bengal (1806), Bank of Bombay (1840) and Bank
of Madras (1843) as independent units and called them Presidency
Banks. These three banks were amalgamated m 1921 and imperial
Bank of India was established which started as private shareholders
banks, mostly Europeans shareholders.
In 1865 Allahabad Bank was established and first time exclusively by
Indians, Punjab National Bank Ltd. was set up in 1894 with
headquarters at Lahore. Between 1885 and 1913, Bank of India
Central Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank, Indian Bank, and
Bank of Mysore were set up Reserve Bank of India came in 1935.
During the first phase the growth was very slow and banks also
experienced periodic failures between 1913 and 1948. There were
approximately 1100 banks, mostly small. To streamline the
Phase II:
Government took major steps in the Indian Banking Sector Reform
after independence. In 1955, it nationalised Imperial Bank of India
with extensive banking facilities on a large scale specially in rural and
semi urban areas. It formed State Bank of India to act as the principal
agent of RBI and to handle banking transactions of the Union and
State Governments all over the country.
Seven banks forming subsidiary of State Bank of India were
nationalised on 19th July 1959. In 1969, major process of
nationalisation was carried out. It was the effort of the then Prime
Minister of India, Mrs. Indira Gandhi 14 major commercial banks in
the country was nationalised.
Second phase of nationalisation in Indian Banking Sector Reform was
carried out in 1980 with six more banks. This step brought 80% of the
banking segment in India under Government ownership.
Phase III:
This phase has introduced many more products and facilities in the
banking sector in its reforms measure. In 1991, under the
chairmanship of M Narasimham, a committee was setup by his name
which worked for the liberalisation of banking practices.
The country is flooded with foreign banks and their ATM stations.
Efforts are being made to give a satisfactory service to customers.
Phone banking and net banking is introduced. The entire system
became more convenient and swift. Time is given more importance
than money.
The financial system of India has shown a great deal of resilience. It is
sheltered from any crisis triggered by any external macro-economics
shock as other East Asian Countries suffered. This is all due to a
flexible exchange rate regime, the foreign reserves are high, the
capital account is not yet fully convertible, and banks and their
customers have limited foreign exchange exposure.
