What is call money?

Answer 1

Call money is also refereed as inter bank. A short-term money market, which allows for large financial institutions, such as banks, mutual funds and corporations to borrow and lend money at inter bank rates. The loans in the call money market are very short, usually lasting no longer than a week and are often used to help banks meet reserve requirements. While known as an inter bank market, many of the players are not banks. Mutual funds, large corporations and insurance companies are able to participate in this market. Many countries, such as India, are beginning to push for a purification of the call money market, but adding regulations that allow only banks to participate.
