goals, such as low and stable inflation and promoting growth.
• G.K. Shaw defines it as “any conscious action undertaken by the
monetary authorities to change the quantity, availability or cost of money.”

controls the monetary policy of the rupee.The institution was established on 1
April 1935 and plays an important part in the development strategy of the

THE INSTRUMENTS OF MONETARY POLICY ARE
OF TWO TYPES:

1. Quantitative: (CRR, SLR, Open market operations, REPO rate, Reverse

repo rate, MSF etc)
2. Qualitative: Change In The Margin Money, Moral Suasion etc.
• These both methods affect the level of aggregate demand through the
supply of money, cost of money and availability of credit. They are meant
to regulate the overall level of credit in the economy through commercial
banks.
 Monetary policy(quantitative instruments)

• CRR- Banks in India are required to hold a certain proportion of their deposits in
the form of cash with the Reserve Bank of India. This minimum ratio is known as
the CRR or Cash Reserve Ratio.
• Repo and Reverse Repo rate- The interest rate at which RBI provides short-
term loans to commercial banks is called the Repo rate. The rate at which RBI
takes short-term credit from commercial banks is the Reverse Repo rate.
• SLR- The minimum percentage of deposits that the bank has to maintain in the
form of approved securities, gold or cash is known as Statutory Liquidity
Ratio.
 DISCUSSION QUESTION

Discuss the present rates of:

CRR ,SLR ,Repo and Reverse Repo, MSF, and SDF
M S F : MSF is the rate at which the banks are able to borrow in emergency, from RBI against the
approved government securities.
The Standing Deposit Facility (SDF): is the rate is the interest rate at which banks can deposit surplus
funds with the central bank (RBI). When the central bank raises the SDF rate, banks are more
inclined to deposit their excess funds with the central bank, reducing the money supply in the
market, and a lower SDF rate encourages banks to lend more and increases the money supply.
CRR-4.5%
SLR-18%,
REPO-6.25%
Reverse Repo-3.35%
MSF-6.75%
SDF-6.25% (as of October, 2023.)
Monetary Policy(qualitative Instruments)
• a) Change in Margin Money: Eg. When we are pledging Gold or Govt.
Security, what percentage of the actual market value is given to the
borrower? This percentage is fixed by the banks as per the directions
given by the RBI.
• b. Moral Suasion: – Moral Suasion refers to a method adopted by the
RBI to convince the commercial banks to advance credit in accordance
with the directions of the central bank in the economic interest of the
country.
