In order to improve the cash management by the banks, effective from the fortnight CRR will be maintained by every Scheduled Commercial Bank based on its NDTL as on the last Friday of the second preceding fortnight. Further to facilitate banks to tide over the contingency during the millennium change, it has been decided to treat cash in hand maintained by banks for compliance of CRR for a limited period of two months commencing from December 1, 1999 to January 31, 2000. The cash in hand which will be counted for CRR purpose, during the above period cannot be treated as eligible asset for SLR purpose simultaneously.
