RBI decided to cut Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) by a huge 1 per cent, which will unlock Rs 2.5 lakh crore liquidity to the banking system for lending to productive sectors of the economy
While the rate cut is a strong positive for real estate, especially for affordable housing, much now depends on how well it can adapt to higher input costs and ongoing global uncertainties
To help banks tide over the disruption caused by COVID-19, the CRR of all banks was reduced by 100 basis points to 3.0 per cent of net demand and time liabilities (NDTL)
