The apex bank first introduced the idea of VRR in the monetary policy statement on Dec. 8, 2021, as a means to infuse liquidity into the system. The first such auction was held for Rs 50,000 crore on Jan. 20, 2022.
And since then, the Reserve Bank has been rebalancing the surplus liquidity in the system by shifting it out of the fixed rate overnight reverse repo window into the variable rate reverse repo (VRR) auctions of longer maturity.
The VRR auction is conducted on the CBS (e-Kuber) platform, and the minimum bid amount for the auction would be Rs 1 crore and multiples thereof.
