Since 26.4.2010, the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) has been changed twice by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) as per details given below.
| Date | Change in CRR |
| 28.01.2012 | Reduced from 6 per cent to 5.5 per cent |
| 10.03.2012 | Reduced from 5.5 per cent to 4.75 per cent |
The main purpose of reducing the CRR is injection of primary liquidity in the system so as to assist the flow of credit growth to the productive sectors of economy, mitigate the downside risks to growth and anchoring the medium term expectations to low and stable inflation.
