RBI amends CRR, SLR directions for commercial banks
Third update to reserve requirements in 2026, rates unspecified
What changed
- CRR and SLR directions amended
- Third amendment for 2026 issued
The read
RBI updated its reserve requirements. The third amendment to the cash reserve ratio and statutory liquidity ratio directions, dated 19 June 2026, refreshes the regulatory framework for scheduled commercial banks without disclosing specific rate changes. A short directive. The absence of numerical targets means the impact on liquidity and bank margins is impossible to gauge from this circular alone. The move signals that RBI continues to fine-tune monetary conditions, even if the market must wait for detail.
