RBI Maintains Status Quo On Repo Rate & Reverse Repo Rate

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on October 8 issued its new report in which it has kept the repo rate unchanged at 4% and reverse repo rate at 3.35%. Reportedly, the decision ''by a majority of 5-1'' will push India's economic growth and recovery. Notably, the repo rate is the lending rate of RBI to commercial banks while RBI takes loans at the reverse repo rate from the banks.
