The call rates are expected to hover around these levels on account of eased liquidity condition as India’s Apex Bank also decided providing additional liquidity in the markets through term repos of 7-day and 14-day tenor for a notified amount equivalent to 0.25% of net demand and time liabilities (NDTL) of the banking system through variable rate auctions on every Friday beginning October 11, 2013.
