While selling or purchasing a property, you might have heard about bank rate and repo rate. Therefore it is essential to know the difference between bank rate and repo rate. If I put it in simple words, the rate at which RBI gives a loan to the commercial bank by buying their security is called repo rate. When a commercial bank lends from RBI without depositing any security it is called bank rate.

What is the difference between bank rate and repo rate?
  • When the central bank charges against the loan to a commercial bank it is called the bank rate. When the central bank charges to purchase the securities it is called repo rate.

  • Collateral is not involved in bank rate but securities, agreements, bonds, and collateral are included in the repo rate.

  • Bank Rate is always higher than the repo rate.

  • The customers get affected directly if there is an increase in the bank rate. But an increase in the repo rate does not affect the customer.

  • Bank rates emphasize long-term financial requirements whereas, repo rates emphasize short-term financial requirements.

The bank rate and the repo rate are the powerful tools of the central bank that is the RBI to control the inflation in the market.

I hope you know the difference between bank rate and repo rate.
