RBI Conducts Overnight Cash Withdrawal After Technical Glitch Affects 30-Day VRRR Auction
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) conducted a 30-day variable rate reverse repo (VRRR) auction with a notified amount of Rs 7 lakh crore but received bids worth only Rs 2.59 lakh crore amid surplus liquidity in the banking system. Technical glitches on the usual e-Kuber platform disrupted participation, prompting the RBI to announce an additional overnight VRRR auction for Rs 5 lakh crore to absorb excess liquidity. The auctions aim to manage liquidity by allowing banks to park surplus funds with the central bank.
