      Solution

      In a USD/INR buy/sell swap, the RBI sells dollars and buys rupees to absorb liquidity. The second leg of this $5 billion swap is expected to drain โ‚น43,000 crore from the system. However, given the surplus liquidity (โ‚น4.09 lakh crore), the overall impact on liquidity conditions remains limited.
