I posted on X in mid‑October 2026 about the RBI’s new Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) directive that raises the minimum daily compliance to **99 %** of the required CRR, up from the previous 90 % buffer.

The RBI now requires banks to keep **99 %** of their required CRR in their RBI account at all times.

At the time of my post banks were holding about **96 %** of the required CRR (₹784 k cr parked vs ₹817 k cr required).

The rule is expected to pull roughly **30 000 cr** out of the banking system, reducing excess liquidity.

The RBI described the measure as a **temporary** step to curb a liquidity overload and to temper bank lending growth until the system adapts.
