RBI Amends CRR and SLR for Commercial Banks
On June 19, 2026, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) announced the third amendment to the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) and Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) for commercial banks. This regulatory change is part of the RBI’s strategy to strengthen liquidity management within the banking sector.
The amendments primarily affect the approval and management of fresh Non-Resident (External) Rupee (NRE) term deposits, which are vital for banks' liquidity frameworks.
This decision underlines the RBI's commitment to optimize financial stability within the banking systems, ensuring that commercial banks can meet liquidity demands efficiently.
Professionals in banking law should review these changes closely to guide their clients in compliance and operational adjustments aligned with the amendments.
