Policy Rate	Rate
Repo Rate	5.25%
SDF	5.00%
MSF	5.50%
Bank Rate	5.50%
Fixed Reverse Repo Rate	3.35%
CRR	3.00%
SLR	18.00%

PET Question

• Q. July 2026 में RBI का Repo Rate कितना था?
• Answer: 5.25%

Easy Trick

• Repo = RBI lends to banks

Repo Rate क्या है?

RBI जब commercial banks को short-term funds देता है, तो जिस interest rate पर lending होती है उसे Repo Rate कहते हैं।

अगर Repo Rate बढ़े:

• Banks के borrowing cost बढ़ सकती है
• Loans महंगे हो सकते हैं
• Demand कम हो सकती है
• Inflation को control करने में मदद मिल सकती है

अगर Repo Rate घटे:

• Borrowing relatively cheaper हो सकती है
• Loans की demand बढ़ सकती है
• Economic activity को support मिल सकता है

CRR

Full Form - Cash Reserve Ratio

• Banks को अपनी Net Demand and Time Liabilities (NDTL) का एक हिस्सा RBI के पास cash reserve के रूप में रखना होता है।
• 2026 Current Rate - CRR = 3%

Trick

CRR → Cash → RBI

SLR

• Full Form - Statutory Liquidity Ratio
• Banks को अपनी specified liabilities का एक हिस्सा liquid assets जैसे: Government securities, Gold, Cash में maintain करना होता है।

2026 Current Rate - SLR = 18%

Difference याद रखें

CRR	SLR
Cash reserve	Liquid assets
RBI के पास रखा जाता है	Bank खुद maintain करता है
2026 rate: 3%	2026 rate: 18%

RBI – Monetary Policy Committee

Economic Survey vs Union Budget

यह बहुत common conceptual question बन सकता है।

Economic Survey	Union Budget
Economy की स्थिति का review	Government की income & expenditure plan
Budget से पहले	Budget के साथ presented
Economic performance	Fiscal policy & allocations
Ministry of Finance	Ministry of Finance

Trick

• Survey = Review
• Budget = Plan

Fiscal Deficit

Government का total expenditure जब उसके total receipts (excluding borrowings) से ज्यादा होता है, तो उस gap को fiscal deficit कहा जाता है।

Formula

• Fiscal Deficit = Total Expenditure – Total Receipts excluding Borrowings

2026–27 Target

• 4.3% of GDP

Revenue Deficit

• Formula: Revenue Deficit = Revenue Expenditure – Revenue Receipts
• 2026–27 Budget में revenue deficit target: 1.5% of GDP

Difference

• Fiscal Deficit → Overall borrowing requirement
• Revenue Deficit → Revenue account gap

Primary Deficit

• Formula: Primary Deficit = Fiscal Deficit – Interest Payments
• इससे पता चलता है कि current fiscal position में interest payments को हटाने के बाद कितना deficit है।

PET Trick

Primary = Fiscal Deficit – Interest

Budget Deficit Terms 

Term	Easy Meaning
Fiscal Deficit	Government की total borrowing requirement का broad measure
Revenue Deficit	Revenue account का gap
Primary Deficit	Fiscal deficit minus interest payments
Trade Deficit	Imports > Exports
Current Account Deficit	Current account में payments > receipts
