What Is the Reverse Repo Rate?


Open in App
Solution

The rate at which the RBI (central bank) borrows money from commercial banks for a short term is called the Reverse repo rate. It helps the central bank to have a ready source of liquidity at the time of need.

It is a mechanism of absorbing the liquidity in the market and is used by RBI when there is surplus liquidity in the economy. Banks get great interest rates from RBI for such an arrangement.
