Let’s Understand

Bank Rates in India


Ever wondered how bank
rates impact your savings,
loans, and the economy?
Let’s break it down.
Repo Rate
The Rate at which RBI Lends to Banks

When the RBI lowers the repo rate,


it becomes cheaper for banks to
borrow money. And in turn, they
offer cheaper loans to us!

RBI
Reverse Repo Rate
The Rate at which Banks Park Money
with RBI

When banks have excess funds,


they park it with the RBI at this
rate. It helps RBI control liquidity
in the market.

RBI
Cash Reserve Ratio
Cash That Banks Must Hold with RBI

CRR is the percentage of deposits


that banks must keep with the RBI,
which ensures they have enough
liquidity to meet demands.
Bank

RBI
Statutory Liquidity Ratio
Banks’ Investment in Safe Assets

SLR is the amount banks must


invest in government securities,
bonds, or gold, ensuring they have a
financial cushion.
Marginal Standing Facility
For Banks Needing Emergency Funds

When banks are short on cash, they


can borrow from RBI overnight
through MSF, usually at a higher
rate than the repo.
RBI
Base Rate
Minimum Loan Interest Banks Can
Charge

Banks cannot lend below the base


rate, which is the minimum interest
rate they charge on loans.
Bank Rate
Long-Term Lending Rate by RBI

The bank rate is the rate at which


RBI lends to commercial banks for
long-term loans. This influences
lending rates across the country.
How Do These Rates Impact You?

These Rates Directly Impact Your Loans,


EMIs & Savings!

When repo rate goes down, your


loan EMIs might get cheaper, but if
CRR or SLR rises, the bank might
lend less. It’s all connected!
Thankyou for Reading!
