T able of Contents 1. Concept of Liquidity 
• Liquidity is the term used to describe how easy it is to convert assets to cash 
• The most liquid asset, and what everything else is compared to, is cash.  
• This is because it can always be used easily and immediately 
•
Shares of stock, bonds, options and commodities are considered fairly liquid, because they can usually 
be sold readily and you can receive the cash within a few days.  
• Each of the above can be considered as cash or cash equivalents because they can be converted to 
cash with little effort, although sometimes with a slight penalty. 
• The least liquid asset is usually considered to be real estate because that can take weeks or months to 
sell. 
2. Role of RBI 
• Issue of Bank Notes. 
• Banker to Government: Maintains and operates the government’s deposit accounts.  
• It represents the Government of India as the member of the IMF and the WorldBank.

•

higher rate of interest. 
•
Central Clearance and Accounts Settlement. 
• Monetary Policy - Controller of Credit: Credit is controlled by the Reserve Bank in accordance with 
the economic priorities of the government.

Incremental CRR 
• T o absorb the surplus liquidity available in the banking system post demonetisation,  
•
RBI instructed the banks to maintain incremental CRR of 100% 
• It was a temporary measure 
•
And is now withdrawn  
5. Demonetisation 
• The Indian government had demonetised bank notes on two prior occasions— once in 1946 and then 
again in 1978 —and in both cases, the goal was to combat tax evasion by "black money" held outside 
the formal economic system. 
• Positive impact of the Demonetisation 
?More formalisation of the Economy 
?More Money in the System 
?Higher T ax Revenue 
?Higher Expenditure 
?Higher Growth after the ?rst two quarters 
6. SLR (Statutory Liquidity Ratio) 
•
It is also some % of NDTL, that bank have to maintain in terms of not only cash but in any terms. 
• SLR Can be kept in either in form of  
?Cash 
?Gold 
?Govt. bonds (liquid form)  
•
It regulates the credit growth in India. 
• The share of NDTL that a bank is required to maintain in safe and liquid assets, such as, 
unencumbered government securities, cash and gold.  
•
Changes in SLR often in?uence the availability of resources in the banking system for lending to the 
private sector. 
•
Investments in unencumbered Instruments that include 
?Treasury-Bills of the Government of India. 
?Dated securities including those issued by the Government of India from time to time under the 
market borrowings programme and the Market Stabilization Scheme (MSS). 
?State Development Loans (SDLs) issued by State Governments under their market borrowings 
programme.
