Third Amendment Directions on Cash Reserve Ratio for Regional Rural Banks

The Reserve Bank of India has released the Third Amendment Directions related to the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) and Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) applicable to Regional Rural Banks. This amendment introduces new provisions affecting the management of Non-Resident (External) Rupee (NRE) term deposits.

With the review of existing guidelines to accompany these changes, the RBI aims to enhance financial management practices within these banks, ensuring compliance while stimulating deposit growth.

Practitioners in banking law should ensure that regional rural banks adapt to these changes promptly, optimizing their deposit management frameworks and aligning with regulatory requirements.
