MONETARY POLICY
Phase 1
The first bank in India, the General Bank of India, was set up in
1786. Bank of Hindustan and Bengal Bank followed. The East India
Company established Bank of Bengal (1809), Bank of Bombay
(1840), and Bank of Madras (1843) as independent units and called
them Presidency banks. These three banks were amalgamated in
1920 and the Imperial Bank of India, a bank of private
shareholders, mostly Europeans, was established. Allahabad Bank
was established, exclusively by Indians, in 1865. Punjab National
Bank was set up in 1894 with headquarters in Lahore. Between
1906 and 1913, Bank of India, Central Bank of India, Bank of
Baroda, Canara Bank, Indian Bank, and Bank of Mysore were set
up. The Reserve Bank of India came in 1935.
During the first phase, the growth was very slow and banks
also experienced periodic failures between 1913 and 1948. There
were approximately 1,100 banks, mostly small. To streamline the
functioning and activities of commercial banks, the Government of
India came up with the Banking Companies Act, 1949, which was
later changed to the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 as per amending
Act of 1965 (Act No. 23 of 1965). The Reserve Bank of India (RBI)
was vested with extensive powers for the supervision of banking in
India as the Central banking authority. During those days, the
general public had lesser confidence in banks. As an aftermath,
deposit mobilization was slow. Moreover, the savings bank facility
provided by the Postal department was comparatively safer, and
funds were largely given to traders.

Monetary policy is the process by which the government,
central bank, or monetary authority of a country controls (i) the
supply of money, (ii) availability of money, and (iii) cost of money
or rate of interest to attain a set of objectives oriented towards the
growth and stability of the economy.

2. PRICE STABILITY:-
All the economics suffer from inflation and deflation; it can also be
called as price stability. Both are
harmful to economy. Thus monetary
policy having an objective of price
stability tries to keep the value of
money stable. It helps in reducing the
income and wealth inequalities.

Inflation Targeting
Under this policy approach the
target is to keep inflation, under a
particular definition such
as Consumer Price Index, within a
desired range.
21
MONETARY POLICY
create uncertainty around price and wage setting activity for firms
and workers, and undermines any information that can be gained
from relative prices, as it is more difficult for firms to determine if a
change in the price of a good or service is because of inflation or
other factors, such as an increase in the efficiency of factors of
production, if inflation is high and volatile. An increase
in inflation also leads to a decrease in the demand for money, as it
reduces the incentive to hold money and increases transaction
costs and shoe leather costs.
Monetary Aggregates
In the 1980s, several countries used an approach based on a
constant growth in the money supply. This approach was refined to
include different classes of money and credit (M0, M1 etc.). In the
USA this approach to monetary policy was discontinued with the
selection of Alan Greenspan as Fed Chairman. This approach is also
sometimes called monetarism.

MONETARY POLICY
CEILING ON CREDIT:
The RBI has imposed ceiling on bank credit against the security
of certain commodity. This imposes a limit on the amount of credit
to different sectors like hire-purchase and installment sale of
consumer goods. Under this method the down payment, installment
amount, loan duration, etc. is fixed in advance. Such measures
ensure financial discipline in the banking sector.
28
MONETARY POLICY
PUBLICITY:
This is yet another method of selective credit control. Through it
Central Bank (RBI) publishes various reports stating what is good
and what is bad in the system. This published information can help
commercial banks to direct credit supply in the desired sectors.
Through its weekly and monthly bulletins, the information is made
public and banks can use it for attaining goals of monetary policy.
CREDIT RATIONING:
Central Bank fixes credit amount to be granted. Credit is rationed
by limiting the amount available for each commercial bank. This
method controls even bill rediscounting. For certain purpose, upper
limit of credit can be fixed and banks are told to stick to this limit.
This can help in lowering banks credit exposure to unwanted
sectors.
MORAL SUASION:
It implies to pressure exerted by the RBI on the Indian banking
system without any strict action for compliance of the rules. It is a
suggestion to banks. It helps in restraining credit during inflationary
periods. Commercial banks are informed about the expectations of
the central bank through a monetary policy. Under moral suasion
central banks can issue directives, guidelines and suggestions for
commercial banks regarding reducing credit supply for speculative
purposes.
29
MONETARY POLICY
DIRECT ACTION:
Under this method the RBI can impose an action against a bank. If
certain banks are not adhering to the RBI's directives, the RBI may
refuse to rediscount their bills and securities. Secondly, RBI may
refuse credit supply to those banks whose borrowings are in excess
to their capital. Central bank can penalize a bank by changing some
rates. At last it can even put a ban on a particular bank if it does
not follow its directives and work against the objectives of the
monetary policy.
30
MONETARY POLICY
Credit controls – The Bank has the power to control the volume,
terms and conditions of commercial bank credit, including
installment credit extended through loans, advances or
investments. The Bank has not exercised such controls in its
implementation of monetary policy.
31
MONETARY POLICY
Used more widely than direct tools, indirect policy tools seek to
alter liquidity conditions. While the use of reserve requirements has
been the traditional monetary tool of choice, more recently, the
Bank shifted towards the use of open market operations to manage
liquidity in the financial system and to signal its policy stance.

MONETARY POLICY
The difference between CRR and SLR is that in CRR, banks has
to maintain Cash balance with RBI whereas in SLR, banks can
maintain themselves the prescribed percentage (by RBI) of reserve
not only in Cash but also in gold or approved securities. Both CRR
34
MONETARY POLICY
and SLR are tools of monetary policy. But the SLR makes banks to
invest some portion of money in Government Securities (‘gilt edged
securities’) which are totally risk-free. The purpose of both CRR and
SLR are to curb the lending ability of banks and suck out excess
money from the economy.
When ‘REPO Rate’ is high, banks will not borrow much from
RBI and vice-versa. When ‘Reverse REPO Rate’ is high, banks will
find RBI an attractive destination to place their excess money (as
RBI will pay more interest to banks).
35
MONETARY POLICY
BASE RATE
BANK RATE
This is the rate (long term) at which central bank (RBI) lends
money to other banks or financial institutions. If the bank rate goes
up, long-term interest rates also tend to move up, and vice-versa.
When bank rate is hiked, banks hike their own lending rates.

authority will be the stability in the foreign exchange markets and if
