Answer / jijo thomas
Whenever the banks have any shortage of funds they can
borrow it from RBI. Repo rate is the rate at which our
banks borrow rupees from RBI. A reduction in the repo rate
will help banks to get money at a cheaper rate. When the
repo rate increases borrowing from RBI becomes more
expensive.
The rate charged by RBI for its Repo operations is 4.75%
and Reverse Repo rate is 3.25%.

Answer / parvinder soni
Repo rate is the rate at which banks borrow funds from the
RBI to meet the gap between the demandthey are facing for
money (loans) and how much they have on hand to lend. If
RBI wants to make it more expensive for the banks to borrow
money, it reduces the repo rate.
