Net Demand and Time Liability

Detailed explanation-1: -All Scheduled Commercial Banks are at present required to maintain with Reserve Bank of India a Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) of 5.00 per cent of the Net Demand and Time Liabilities (NDTL) (excluding liabilities subject to zero CRR prescriptions) under Section 42(1) of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 .
Detailed explanation-2: -The Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) is the percentage of total deposits a bank must have in cash to operate risk-free. The Reserve Bank of India decides the amount and is kept with them for financial security. The bank cannot use this amount for lending and investment purposes and does not get any interest from the RBI.
Detailed explanation-3: -The ratio of these liquid assets to the demand and time liabilities is called the Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR). The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has the authority to increase this ratio by up to 40%. An increase in the ratio constricts the ability of the bank to inject money into the economy.
