Answer / remya v.s
Both bank rate and repo rate serve the same purpose for
meeting the liquidity needs of the commercial banks.Both the
rates are determined by RBI in accordance with the money
supply in the market.The only difference between the two
are,in REPO RATE, there is sale of security to RBI on an
agreement to" repurchase" it at a future date at
predetermined price.That is why the term REPO means
"REPURCHASE AGREEMENT".Whereas in BANK RATE, there is no
such sale or repurchase agreement.It takes place as mere
lending of money to commercial banks at fixed rate ,i.e the
bank rate.

Answer / rajni
Repo Rate - short for repurchase rate, is the rate at which
banks borrow money from RBI. In this, banks mortgage their
government securities and it is generally for a short term.
Bank rate is also the rate at which banks borrow from RBI
but in this there is no morgaging of securities involved. It
is a long term lending. Influenced by govt's monetary policies.
At present - Repo rate is 4.75%, Bank Rate - 6%

Answer / sakthidharan
Repo or Repurchase rate is the rate at which banks borrow
funds from the RBI to meet the gap between the demand they
are facing for money (loans) and how much they have on hand
to lend.
If the RBI wants to make it more expensive for the banks to
borrow money, it increases the repo rate; similarly, if it
wants to make it cheaper for banks to borrow money, it
reduces the repo rate.
Bank Rate
This is the rate at which RBI lends money to other banks (or
financial institutions)
The bank rate signals the central bank's long-term outlook
on interest rates. If the bank rate moves up, long-term
interest rates also tend to move up, and vice-versa.
Banks make a profit by borrowing at a lower rate and lending
the same funds at a higher rate of interest. If the RBI
hikes the bank rate, the interest that a bank pays for
borrowing money (banks borrow money either from each other
or from the RBI) increases. It, in turn, hikes its own
lending rates to ensure it continues to make a profit.
