    Solution

    CRR, or Cash Reserve Ratio, is the percentage of a bank's total deposits that they are required to keep with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) as reserves. The minimum CR requirement is specified by RBI which is a percentage of the Net Demand and Time Liabilities (NDTL) of the bank. Banks cannot lend the CRR money to corporates or individual borrowers, nor use that money for investment purposes. Banks do not earn any interest on that CRR.
