..........Put simply, these funds will not attract norms like Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR), Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) and those on priority sector lending. While the finer details are awaited, banks will have more to lend for funding long-term infra projects. At present, for every Rs 100 crore raised through deposits, banks have to keep Rs 4 crore with Reserve Bank India as CRR (which earns zero interest income) and invest Rs 22.5 crore in government bonds to meet SLR norms. Beside, Rs 40 crore has to be lent to priority sectors. ........
