Quick answerRBI raised CRR for Scheduled State Co-operative Banks by 25 bps to 6.00% of NDTL, effective fortnight starting April 24, 2010, aligning with the Monetary Policy Statement 2010-11.
What changed
The Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) for Scheduled State Co-operative Banks was increased by 25 basis points, from 5.75% to 6.00% of net demand and time liabilities (NDTL). This change takes effect from the fortnight beginning April 24, 2010, as per the RBI notification dated April 21, 2010.
What it means for you
Scheduled StCBs will need to maintain higher reserves with RBI, reducing lendable resources. This move tightens liquidity for these banks, potentially impacting their profitability and credit deployment. It signals RBI's intent to manage inflation and absorb excess liquidity in the system.
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.
