The Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) is a monetary policy tool used by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to control liquidity in the banking system. It represents the specific percentage of total deposits that commercial banks must keep as liquid cash with the RBI. By adjusting the CRR, the central bank can influence the amount of money banks have available for lending.
The RBI mandates the CRR percentage based on its assessment of inflation and economic growth. Banks calculate this requirement based on their Net Demand and Time Liabilities (NDTL).
