Cash and due from banks, and restricted cash
4. Cash and due from banks, and restricted cash
The Bank is required to maintain a specific percentage of its demand and time liabilities by way of a balance in a current account with the RBI. This is to maintain the solvency of the banking system. As prescribed by the RBI, the cash reserve ratio has to be maintained on an average basis for a
two-week
period. The average balance maintained for such
two-week
period should not fall below the
prescribed threshold limit. Non-maintenance
of the requisite balance is subject to levy of penalty. The Bank has classified the cash reserve maintained with the RBI as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents (restricted cash).
The cash and due from banks, and restricted cash includes restricted cash of
Rs. 1,142,014.9 million and Rs. 1,010,007.0 million (US$ 10,764.2 million) as of March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026, respectively.
