What is the repo rate?
Repo rate is the rate at which RBI lends to banks. Banks give loans to customers with this loan. The low repo rate means that many types of loans from the bank will become cheap. Whereas the reverse repo rate is the reverse of the repo rate. This is the rate at which banks get interest on deposits in RBI on their behalf. The reverse repo rate is used to control liquidity in the markets.
