The word "statutory" means that something is a legal requirement. In this case the banking companies are legally obliged to keep a certain amount of money in a reserve fund. They must nto invest it or put it 'at risk' in any way.

It is the amount of money any bank has to maintain with the Reserve bank for every customer. Say you deposit Rs. 100 in ABC Bank, the bank cannot lend all the 100 bucks. They have to pledge a small amount say Rs. 10 with RBI and can lend only the remaining 90 and make an income out of that 90. This 10 bucks is the statutory reserve. The RBI modifies this reserve periodically.
