Cash reserve ratio refers to the proportion of net time and demand liabilities (NTDL) of commercial banks maintained in cash form with the Reserve bank of India. The Reserve bank of India determines the cash reserve ratio annually depending on the economic situation of the country. At present (June, 2021)&nbsp; the CRR rate is 4 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Statutory reserve ratio (SLR):<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Statutory reserve ratio is the proportion of net time and demand liabilities (NTDL) of commercial banks maintained in other than cash with the Reserve Bank of India. Here, other than cash form means investment in gold, silver, precious metal, government securities etc. The Reserve bank determines the statutory reserve ratio annually depending on the economic situation.

When there is an increase in such rates, the commercial banks are required to keep a large proportion of their NTDL with the Reserve Bank of India. Thus, the commercial banks left less money with them for retail lending or investment purposes. Hence, the supply of money in the economy reduces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Similarly, the RBI decreases the CRR and SLR rate to increase the supply of money in the economy. When there is an decrease in such rates, the commercial banks are required to keep a small proportion of their NTDL with the Reserve Bank of India.
