FAQ :

Effective January 1, 2022, banks will be able to dip into their Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) up to two percent of their Net Demand and Time Liabilities (NDTL) for overnight borrowing under the MSF, returning to the normal dispensation.

Previously, banks were allowed to avail of funds under the MSF by dipping into the SLR up to three percent of their NDTL outstanding.

The change to the normal dispensation, allowing for two percent NDTL usage for MSF borrowing, takes effect from January 1, 2022.

This regulation is governed by Section 24 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949.

It means returning to the standard practice where banks can use up to two percent of their NDTL for overnight borrowing under the MSF, as opposed to the temporary higher limit of three percent.
