Interbank call rates were trading lower at 8.25/8.30% against Wednesday’s close of 8.95%/9.00%, but higher than repo level of ‘8%’ as banks rushed to borrow to meet their sudden fund requirements. Meanwhile, Reserve Bank of India after releasing the third bi-monthly monetary policy for the current fiscal underscored that the central bank was taking note of the call rates and were trying to keep the rates closer to 8%. However, some of oscillations in the rates were on account of substantial and unanticipated variations in government balances.
