Correct Answer: total demand and term deposits
Solution : The correct answer is total demand and term deposits.
The Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) is a "monetary policy instrument" of the "RBI." This requires "commercial banks" to hold a specified percentage of total "demand" and "time deposits" as liquid assets in their vault. The goals of keeping the Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) are to increase or decrease the flow of bank credit and to prevent commercial banks from "over-liquidating."
