Correct Answer: Statutory Liquidity Ratio


Solution : The correct option is the Statutory Liquidity Ratio .

The practice of maintaining a minimum percentage of cash, gold and other approved securities as a proportion of their demand and time liabilities is known as the Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR). It is a regulatory requirement imposed by the central bank to ensure the liquidity and stability of commercial banks. In India, the current SLR rate is 18%. This means that banks must keep a minimum of 18% of their Net Demand and Time Liabilities (NDTL) in liquid assets.
