Question { DMRC, 5159 }
What is CRR ? How it Works?
Answer
CRR MEANS CASH RESERVE RATIO
It refers to keeping a portion of net demand and time liabilities (NDTL) of banks with the central banks (In India it’s Reserve Bank of India, RBI). Central bank fixes this percentage of NDTL. Central bank can change this percentage as a monetary measure to control the availability of funds in the economy i.e. to inject liquidity or to suck liquidity. RBI doesn’t pay any interest on such funds held with it.
