CRR on CBLO Transactions for Scheduled StCBs from Nov 21, 2009
No longer current — withdrawn, no replacement on file yet
Source: Reserve Bank of India · RBI/2009-10/212 · issued 09 Nov 2009 · ~1 min read
Quick answerFrom November 21, 2009, scheduled state co-operative banks must include CBLO liabilities with CCIL in NDTL for CRR. Only liabilities to the banking system as per RBI Act Section 42(1)(e) remain exempt. This aligns with the Second Quarter Review of Monetary Policy 2009-10.
What changed
Previously, CBLO liabilities were exempt from CRR for scheduled state co-operative banks. Now, with effect from the fortnight starting November 21, 2009, these liabilities must be included in NDTL for CRR computation. The base for the first fortnight is the reporting Friday of November 6, 2009.
What it means for you
Scheduled state co-operative banks will face higher CRR requirements as CBLO liabilities are now part of NDTL. This increases their statutory reserve burden, potentially reducing lendable resources. Banks must adjust their liquidity management and reporting systems to comply from the specified fortnight.
Historical instruction — do not use for current compliance. This is what was required at the time; it no longer reflects current RBI requirements. If no replacement rule is linked above, that only means none is recorded on our register yet — it does not prove no later applicable rule exists. Confirm on the official RBI source below.
What banks were required to do at the time
Include liabilities from CBLO transactions with CCIL in NDTL for CRR from the fortnight beginning November 21, 2009.
Use the reporting Friday of November 6, 2009 as the base for the first CRR computation under the new rule.
Review and update internal systems to ensure only banking system liabilities as per Section 42(1)(e) of RBI Act are exempted.
Communicate the change to treasury and compliance teams for accurate CRR maintenance.
