because of cautiousness among investors. To arrest the fall of rupee, the
government increased import duties on select goods. Also, and the

not improve, and financial stocks saw sell-off.

and 0.69% to close at 36,324.17 and 10,977.55, respectively. S&P BSE

the current account deficit and strengthen up the rupee.
• The Reserve of India (RBI) has permitted the banks to dip further into
statutory cash reserves in a bid to ease a liquidity squeeze. RBI stated that
the banks could carve out 15% of the holdings under the statutory
liquidity reserves to meet their liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) requirements
as against current rate of 13%. The announcement comes in order to ease
the liquidity squeeze that has been troubling the nation’s money markets.
