The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is India's
central banking institution, which
controls the monetary policy of the
Indian rupee. It was established on 1
April 1935 during the British Raj in
accordance with the provisions of the
Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934.
Following India's independence in 1947,
the RBI was nationalized in the year 1949.
Public Sector Banks (PSBs) are banks where
a majority stake (i.e. more than 50%) is
held by a government. The shares of
these banks are listed on stock
exchanges. There are a total of 26 PSBs
in India.
The banks which are not registered in the list of
central bank under its charter are known as non-
scheduled banks. They are not bound to perform
banking services according to the policies and
instructions of central bank e.g. Bank of Punjab was
a non-scheduled bank.
The CPs maturity period ranges from 7 days to 1 year. They can be
issued in multiples of Rs. 5 lakhs and in multiples thereof. They
are sold at a discount to its face value and redeemed at its face
value.
REPO MARKET
A repurchase agreement, also known as a repo,
RP, or sale and repurchase agreement, is the sale
of securities together with an agreement for the
seller to buy back the securities at a later date.
The repurchase price should be greater than the
original sale price, the difference effectively
representing interest, sometimes called the repo
rate. The party that originally buys the securities
effectively acts as a lender. The original seller is
effectively acting as a borrower, using their
security as collateral for a secured cash loan at a
fixed rate of interest.
REVERSE REPO
A reverse repo is simply the same repurchase
agreement from the buyer's viewpoint, not the seller's.
Hence, the seller executing the transaction would
describe it as a "repo", while the buyer in the same
transaction would describe it a "reverse repo". The
term "reverse repo and sale" is commonly used to
describe the creation of a short position in a debt
instrument where the buyer in the repo transaction
immediately sells the security provided by the seller
on the open market.
On the settlement date of the repo, the buyer
acquires the relevant security on the open market and
delivers it to the seller. In such a short transaction the
seller is wagering that the relevant security will decline
in value between the date of the repo and the
settlement date.
The MMMFs were introduced in 1992. The
objective of MMMFs is to provide an additional
short term avenue to the individual investors. In
1995, RBI modified the scheme to allow private
sector organizations to setup MMMFs.
The scheme has been made more attractive to
investors by reducing lock in period from 45 days
to 15 days. Resources mobilized from MMMFs are
required to be invested in call money, CDs, CPs,
commercial bills, treasury bills, and government
dated securities having an unexpired maturity of
up to 1 year.
A mutual fund is a type of professionally
managed collective investment vehicle that
pools money from many investors to purchase
securities.
They are sometimes referred to as "investment
companies" or "registered investment
companies." Most mutual funds are "open-
ended," meaning investors can buy or sell
shares of the fund at any time. Hedge funds are
not considered a type of mutual fund.
