What is the Cash Reserve Ratio?
The Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) is the percentage of total deposits that RBI mandates banks to park with it as cash reserves. This locks up funds, curbing money supply and helping fight inflation. On the other hand, cutting CRR frees up cash for banks to lend more, spurring growth but risking higher prices. CRR plays a vital role in keeping the economy balanced.
