NEED FOR THE STUDY INTRODUCTION OF CASH RESERVE RATIO: A cash reserve ratio (or CRR) is the percentage of bank reserves to deposits and notes. The cash reserve ratio is also known as the cash asset ratio or liquidity ratio. India's central bank ordered commercial banks to hold a larger share of deposits in cash, and raised a key short-term lending rate in a bid to curb high inflation that has stoked fears of overheating. The reserve ratio is sometimes used as a tool in monetary policy, influencing the country's economy, borrowing, and interest rates. However, Central banks rarely alter the reserve requirements due to the fact that it would cause immediate liquidity problems for banks with low excess reserves. Instead, open market operations are used. As of 2006 the required reserve ratio in the United States was 10% on transaction deposits (component of money supply "M1"), and zero on time deposits and all other deposits. An institution that holds reserves in excess of the required amount is said to hold excess reserves. The Reserve Bank of India stipulates the cash reserve ratio — the proportion of deposits that commercial banks must hold in cash to control the availability of money in the market and there by control the inflation..
RBI AS CONTROLLER OF CREDIT: The Reserve Bank of India is the controller of credit i.e. it has the power to influence the volume of credit created by banks in India. It can do so through changing the Bank rate or through open market operations. According to the Banking Regulation Act of 1949, the Reserve Bank of India can ask any particular bank or the whole banking system not to lend to particular groups or persons on the basis of certain types of securities. Since 1956, selective controls of credit are increasingly being used by the Reserve Bank. The Reserve Bank of India is armed with many more powers to control the Indian money market. Every bank has to get a license from the Reserve Bank of India to do banking business within India, the license can be cancelled by the Reserve Bank of certain stipulated conditions are not fulfilled. Every bank will have to get the permission of the Reserve Bank before it can open a new branch. Each scheduled bank must send a weekly return to the Reserve Bank showing, in detail, its assets and liabilities. This power of the Bank to call for information is also intended to give it effective control of the credit system. The Reserve Bank has also the power to inspect the accounts of any commercial bank.
As supreme banking authority in the country, the Reserve Bank of India, therefore, has the following powers: (a) It holds the cash reserves of all the scheduled banks. (b) It controls the credit operations of banks through quantitative and qualitative controls. (c) It controls the banking system through the system of licensing, inspection and calling for information. (d) It acts as the lender of the last resort by providing rediscount facilities to scheduled banks.

INTRODUCTION TO THE BANKING INDUSTRY: The RBI also manipulates the repurchase rate, the rate at which it lends to commercial banks in the short term. India's brisk economic expansion — the economy is growing close to 9 percent for the second straight year — has boosted middle-class incomes, but it is also driving up prices with too much money chasing fewer goods. The spike in inflation has triggered concerns that the economy might be overheating and could be headed for a hard landing unless inflation is contained. "In the light of the current macroeconomic, monetary and anticipated liquidity conditions, and with a view to containing inflation expectations, it is critical to take demonstrable and determined action on an urgent basis” The banking section will navigate through all the aspects of the Banking System in India. It will discuss upon the matters with the birth of the banking concept in the country to new players adding their names in the industry in coming few years.
