What is a reverse repo?
This is in sharp contrast to the repo rate. The reverse repo rate is the rate at which banks receive interest on the money deposited by them in the RBI. Reverse repo rates are used to control the liquidity of cash in markets. Whenever there is too much cash in the market, RBI increases the reverse repo rate and when there is a shortage of cash, it reduces it so that liquidity is not reduced.
