RBI to Conduct Rs 2 Lakh Crore 29-Day VRRR Auction on October 8
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will conduct a 29-day Variable Rate Reverse Repo (VRRR) auction for Rs 2 lakh crore on October 8 to absorb surplus liquidity in the banking system. The auction amount will be reversed on November 6, with participants allowed premature reversal through the E-Kuber portal. RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra noted the current liquidity surplus is temporary, expecting gradual drainage through forex operations, currency circulation, and seasonal factors like festive cash demand and agricultural cycles.
