The effect of the increase in the repo rate The RBI has increased the repo rate by 0.50 percent once on 30 September. This is the fourth time in a row that the central bank has increased policy rates. Not only will it be costly to take a loan from this, but the interest rate of FD, RD and savings schemes is also expected to increase.

This will directly benefit the common customers. Explain that RBI has increased the repo rate to 5.90 percent. RBI is increasing the repo rate to control inflation. In August, retail inflation had hit 7 per cent, which is well outside the central bank’s satisfactory range.
