This topic covers money and its functions, the banking system in India, the Reserve Bank of India and monetary policy, policy tools such as the repo rate, reverse repo rate, CRR and SLR, bank nationalisation, types of banks, and payment systems such as NEFT, RTGS and UPI.

Current policy rates change often, so check the latest RBI announcements.
