TIMELINE-Changes to India's SLR for banks since 1949

July 31 (Reuters) - India's central bank left interest rates
unchanged for the second time since June, in line with
expectations, while cutting its growth forecast and lifting its
inflation outlook as economic conditions deteriorate.
The Reserve Bank of India kept its policy repo rate
at 8 percent and left the reverse repo rate
unchanged at 7.00 percent.
The RBI also left the cash reserve ratio (CRR),
the share of deposits banks must keep with the central bank, at
4.75 percent.
However, it unexpectedly reduced the minimum requirement for
banks' government bond holdings to 23 percent of deposits, from
24 percent previously, in a move to free up liquidity.
