The Reserve Bank today said the uncertainty over issuing guidelines for new bank licences is likely to continue for some more time as it is in consultation with the government over the draft norms. There is some uncertainty about the time-frame for issuing new bank guidelines. We are discussing (the issue) with the Government, RBI Governor D Subbarao told reporters here today.
In a bid to check inflation, Reserve Bank today raised its short term lending (repo) rate by 50 basis points to 7.25 per cent, while lowering the economic growth projection to 8 per cent for the current fiscal. The RBI has also increased the saving bank rate by 50 basis points to 4 per cent to give higher returns to depositors in the wake of high inflation.
In line with international practice, the RBI on Tuesday decided to anchor monetary policy through a single short term lending rate known as repo rate. Unlike in the past, the rate at which the RBI borrows from banks (reverse-repo) will be the benchmarked 100 basis points below the repo rates.
