Banks that meet the liquidity needs of mutual funds without using RBI’s special liquidity facility for MFs (SLE-MFs), will also get the regulatory benefits available to those that are tapping this special window.

The decision was taken based on requests received from banks, RBI said in a statement. Banks using their own funds to meet liquidity needs of MFs by extending loans, and purchasing investment-grade corporate bonds, commercial paper (CPs), debentures and certificates of deposit (CDs) held by MFs can claim the regulatory benefits available under SLF-MF scheme.
