Statutory Liquidity Ratio or SLR as it is more commonly called is the amount of liquid cash every bank has to maintain in order to meet the daily customer withdrawal demands. Whatever money we deposit with banks, they lend it out to other customers to make a profit out of it. Imagine you depositing a few lakh rupees out of your retirement corpus with a bank and visiting the bank to withdraw some money to get a gift for your grandson and the bank telling you that since the loan re-payments were not received on time, you cant take money out of your account right now? That would be bad wouldn't it?
This is exactly why banks have to maintain a SLR so that they don't have to refuse withdrawal transactions from deposit customers. Its your money and you should be able to withdraw it anytime you want.
Reserve bank does not have a SLR only the member banks need to maintain a SLR.
