There is something called a CRR - Cash Reserve Ratio. It is the amount of money that the member banks have to keep deposited with the central bank for every rupee that they receive as a deposit.

Lets say you deposit Rs. 1000/- in your account and the CRR is 10% then your bank must deposit Rs. 100/- with RBI and can lend the remaining 900 rupees only.

When the central bank reduces the CRR the amount of money with the banks would increase which they would lend at reduced rates to the public which in turn would increase the money circulation.

Banks can create money just by saying so (out of thin air) and lend this money to borrowers.
