NEW DELHI – The Reserve Bank of India Thursday issued amended norms on cash reserve ratio and statutory liquidity ratio management for regulated entities. The amendments modify the directions issued in November and are effective immediately.
Loans and refinance taken from other development financial institutions recognised by the RBI shall not be counted in a regulated entity's calculation of liabilities for CRR and SLR, the amendment said. This adds to earlier exemptions given to such liabilities from the central bank, Export and Import Bank of India, National Housing Bank, National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development, Small Industries Development Bank of India, and National Bank for Financing Infrastructure and Development.
Regulated entities no longer have to report balances in the RBI's standing deposit facilities as "cash in hand" held by them and must report them independently. The RBI also amended the phrasing in the SLR and CRR reporting forms to reflect the changes. End
