13 Dec 2012 Evaluate

Interbank call rates remain unchanged at its previous close of 8.05/8.10%, on the penultimate day of reserves reporting on Friday. However, call rates are expected to rise as corporates make payments towards advance tax on December 15, 2012, which could strain bank’s liquidity condition. However, sharp up run is unlikely due RBI’s recently conducted OMO. However, the central bank bought Rs 11,603 crore of government bonds via open market operations as against Rs 12,000 crore scheduled.

The banks via Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) borrowed Rs 73,335 crore via repo window and parked Rs 100 crore via reverse repo window on December 12, 2012.
