Tax outflows have led to a marked cash crunch in the system. On Friday, banks borrowed Rs 42,290 crore from RBI through its repo window. This borrowing is reflective of the fund shortage in the system.
Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee has appreciated the monetary policy tightening announced by Reserve Bank of India(RBI) in its mid quarterly policy review today. He welcomed the RBI’s decision to raise the repo rate by 25 basis points and Reverse Repo Rate by 50 basis points. The Finance Minister expressed his happiness that the RBI has decided not to tighten the CRR from the existing 6 percent.

Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee today said the Reserve Bank will decide on a further hike in its lending and borrowing rates at the quarterly review meeting on July 27. “The RBI Board will come up with its policy on July 27. Let us wait till then,” Mukherjee told newspersons here when asked whether there would be any further hike in the repo and reverse repo rates of the RBI.
