FAQ :

These are the official directions issued by the Reserve Bank of India that specify the requirements for maintaining Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) and Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) for various banks in India.

The Directions come into effect on the day they are published on the official website of the Reserve Bank of India.

These Directions apply to all Scheduled Commercial Banks (including Regional Rural Banks), Small Finance Banks, Payments Banks, Local Area Banks, Primary (Urban) Co-operative Banks, State Co-operative Banks, and District Central Co-operative Banks, unless otherwise specified.

Every bank must maintain a sum equivalent to a specified percentage of its Net Demand and Time Liabilities (NDTL) in India as a cash reserve. Reporting is done through specific statutory returns like Form A, Form B, and Form I.

Approved securities include Dated securities of the Government of India, Treasury Bills of the Government of India, State Development Loans (SDLs), and any other instrument notified by the Reserve Bank of India.

'Aggregate Deposits' means the aggregation of demand and time deposits held by a bank.
