2. EVOLUTION OF BANKING STRUCTURE
IN INDIA
• At the time of Independence - banking
structure dominated by domestic scheduled
commercial banks. Non-scheduled banks,
constituted a small share
• First task before RBI after independence develop sound structure on contemporary lines
• Safety nets to depositors from RBI
• Need for separate banking structure –
Commercial banks not tuned to needs and
requirements of SME and marginal farmers,
co-operatives lacked resources.
Need of combining local feel and familiarity of
rural problems characteristic of co-operatives
and professionalism and large resource base of
commercial banks.

16. BANKING CONCEPTS
• PLR or prime lending rate - rate of interest at which
banks lend to their credit-worthy or favoured
customers.
It is treated as a benchmark rate for most retail
and term loans.
influenced by RBI‘s policy rates — the repo rate
and cash reserve ratio
• Deposit Rates - Interest rate paid on deposit
accounts by commercial banks and other FIs
• Bank rate - rate of interest which RBI charges on
loans and advances that it extends to commercial
banks and other financial intermediaries. Changes in
the bank rate are often used by RBI to control money
16
supply
17. • Repo Rate - rate at which banks borrow from RBI. A
reduction in repo rate will help banks to get money
at a cheaper rate.
• Reverse Repo rate - rate at which RBI borrows
money from banks. An increase in Reverse repo rate
can cause banks to transfer more funds to RBI due
to this attractive interest rates. It can cause the
money to be drawn out of the banking system.
Due to this fine tuning of RBI using its tools of
CRR, Bank Rate, Repo Rate and Reverse Repo rate
our banks adjust their lending or investment rates
for common man.
Difference between Bank Rate and Repo Rate
• While repo rate - applicable to short-term loans and
used for controlling amount of money in
market, bank rate - a long-term measure and
governed by long-term monetary policies

18. STATUTORY LIQUIDITY RATIO (SLR)
• OBJECTIVE
1) To restrict expansion of bank credit.
2) To augment investment of the banks in
Government securities.
3) To ensure solvency of banks.

CASH RESERVE RATIO (CRR)
OBJECTIVE

total deposits to be held as cash) is stipulated by
RBI - CRR or Cash Reserve Ratio
Also known as - Cash Asset Ratio or Liquidity Ratio
• PURPOSE –

that banks will be able to use for lending and
investment.
