State Bank has said it is borrowing funds from the market to tide over the liquidity shortage on account of the spectrum sale and advance tax payment.
SBI, along with other private and public sector banks have been borrowing funds from the Reserve Bank and the inter-bank call money market to overcome the liquidity crunch.
To overcome liquidity crunch on account of payment towards spectrum sale, the RBI had opened a separate window on May 28 allowing banks to borrow funds from the central bank.
As per the second liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) option opened by the RBI to meet short-term cash crunch, banks borrowed Rs 28,960 crore at repo rate of 5.25 per cent yesterday. At the same time, overnight call money average rate was 4.27 per cent and Rs 176 crore was transacted under this.
