The repo rate, what banks pay when they borrow money from the RBI to meet their short-term requirements, was increased to 8 percent from 7.75 percent per annum.
The reverse repo rate that the RBI pays to commercial banks when they park their surplus short-term funds with the central bank, has been adjusted to 7 percent.
In its third quarter review of the monetary policy, the RBI also hiked the marginal standing facility rate by 0.25 percent to 9 percent.
However, the cash reserve ratio (CRR) has been kept unchanged at 4 percent.
