The Reserve Bank of India mopped up Rs 95,810 crore from the banking system through a seven-day Variable Rate Reverse Repo (VRRR) auction held on Monday, August 10, 2026. The notified amount was Rs 2,00,000 crore. The central bank accepted all bids received at a cut-off rate of 5.24 per cent. The auction was conducted under the Liquidity Adjustment Facility after a review of current liquidity conditions. The amount accepted was less than half of the notified amount, indicating that banks chose to park only a part of their surplus funds with the RBI at the offered rate. The proceeds will be reversed on August 17.
