What is meant by Repo Rate and Reverse Repo Rate...

Answer / kavita poddar

Repo (Repurchase) rate is the rate at which the RBI lends
shot-term money to the banks. When the repo rate increases
borrowing from RBI becomes more expensive. Therefore, we
can say that in case, RBI wants to make it more expensive
for the banks to borrow money, it increases the repo rate;
similarly, if it wants to make it cheaper for banks to
borrow money, it reduces the repo rate.

Reverse Repo rate is the rate at which banks park their
short-term excess liquidity with the RBI. The RBI uses
this tool when it feels there is too much money floating in
the banking system. An increase in the reverse repo rate
means that the RBI will borrow money from the banks at a
higher rate of interest.

What is meant by Repo Rate and Reverse Repo Rate...

Answer / amar singh

Repo rate is the rate at which the banks can borrow money
from a central bank of the country in order to avoid
scarcity of funds.For eg, whenever the banks have any
shortage of funds they can borrow it from Reserve Bank of
India (RBI). Thus Repo rate is the rate at which our banks
borrow rupees from RBI. A reduction in the repo rate will
help banks to get money at a cheaper rate. When the repo
rate increases borrowing from RBI becomes more expensive.
It is also a financial & economic tool in the hands of
government to control the availability of money supply in
the market by altering the repo rate from time to time.

Reverse repo rate is return banks earn on excess funds
parked with the central bank against Government securities
