IBPS SBI RRB Banking Awareness 2026
Quick Definition: The Money Market is the market for short-term borrowing, lending and trading of financial instruments, generally involving maturities of up to one year. It is important for liquidity management, short-term funding and monetary policy transmission.

1. What is Money Market?

The Money Market is a segment of the financial market where short-term funds and short-term financial instruments are borrowed, lent, issued and traded.

The term "short-term" generally refers to instruments with a maturity of up to one year.

The money market is important because banks, financial institutions, governments and eligible corporations continuously have temporary surpluses and shortages of funds.

Most Important Exam Point: Money Market = Short-term funds + High liquidity + Short-term financial instruments.

2. Features of Money Market

  • Deals mainly with short-term funds.
  • Instruments generally have maturity up to one year.
  • Liquidity is an important characteristic.
  • It supports short-term borrowing and lending.
  • Banks are major participants.
  • RBI has an important role in India's money market.
  • It supports monetary policy transmission.
  • It helps financial institutions manage temporary liquidity mismatches.
  • It includes both secured and unsecured transactions.
  • It includes market-based and central-bank liquidity operations.

3. Objectives and Importance of Money Market

Liquidity Management

Helps banks and financial institutions manage temporary shortages and surpluses of funds.

Short-Term Finance

Provides a mechanism for raising and deploying short-term funds.

Monetary Policy

Money-market conditions are important for transmission of monetary policy.

Efficient Fund Allocation

Helps move short-term surplus funds toward participants requiring liquidity.

4. Structure of Indian Money Market

The Indian money market consists of several interconnected segments and instruments.

Segment Main Activity Examples
Call/Notice/Term Money Short-term borrowing and lending Call, Notice, Term Money
Repo Market Secured short-term funding Repo, Reverse Repo, Triparty Repo
Government Securities Short-term Government borrowing Treasury Bills, CMBs
Corporate Short-Term Market Short-term corporate borrowing Commercial Paper
Deposit Instrument Market Short-term institutional fund raising Certificate of Deposit

5. Organised Money Market

The organised money market consists of regulated and formally structured financial institutions and markets.

Important participants include banks, financial institutions, primary dealers and other eligible entities operating under the regulatory framework.

Characteristics

  • Regulated by relevant authorities.
  • Formal financial institutions participate.
  • Transactions use established market mechanisms.
  • Interest rates and liquidity conditions are influenced by monetary policy.

6. Unorganised Money Market

The unorganised segment consists of informal or less formally regulated sources of short-term finance.

Historically, indigenous bankers and moneylenders have been associated with this segment.

Exam Point: Organised money market = formal and regulated financial system. Unorganised money market = informal sources such as traditional moneylenders and indigenous bankers.

7. Participants in Money Market

Participant Role
Reserve Bank of India Monetary authority and important participant in liquidity operations
Commercial Banks Borrow and lend short-term funds and participate in various instruments
Co-operative Banks Participate subject to applicable eligibility and regulatory conditions
Primary Dealers Important participants in Government securities markets
Financial Institutions Provide and obtain short-term funds through eligible markets
Mutual Funds Invest in eligible money-market instruments
Corporates Raise short-term funds, including through eligible instruments such as CP
Insurance and Pension Institutions Invest according to applicable regulations

8. Major Money Market Instruments in India

Instrument Nature Main Use
Call Money Very short-term borrowing/lending Overnight liquidity
Notice Money Short-term borrowing/lending Liquidity management
Term Money Short-term borrowing/lending Funding for a defined term
Repo Secured funding transaction Liquidity management
Treasury Bills Government short-term security Government borrowing
Commercial Paper Short-term corporate debt Corporate funding
Certificate of Deposit Negotiable deposit instrument Institutional short-term funding
TREPS Triparty repo Collateralised short-term borrowing/lending
Cash Management Bills Short-term Government instrument Temporary cash-flow mismatch management

9. Call Money

Call money refers to very short-term borrowing and lending, traditionally associated with overnight funds.

Purpose

  • Managing temporary liquidity shortages.
  • Deploying temporary surplus funds.
  • Maintaining efficient liquidity in the banking system.
Memory Point: Call Money → Overnight / very short-term money.

10. Notice Money

Notice money refers to short-term funds where the maturity is generally more than overnight and up to 14 days.

Notice Money → More than overnight and up to 14 days

11. Term Money

Term money generally refers to money-market borrowing and lending for periods beyond 14 days and up to one year.

Term Money → More than 14 days and up to one year
Exact participation and eligibility in call, notice and term money markets are governed by applicable RBI directions.

12. Repo — Repurchase Agreement

Repo is a transaction in which one party obtains funds against securities and agrees to repurchase the securities later at an agreed price.

Simple Example

Bank A needs short-term funds. It provides eligible securities as collateral to Bank B and agrees to repurchase them later.

Economically, the transaction functions as a secured short-term borrowing arrangement.

Why Repo is Important?

  • Provides short-term liquidity.
  • Uses securities as collateral.
  • Supports liquidity management.
  • Is important in monetary policy operations.
Exam Memory: Repo = Borrowing funds against securities with an agreement to repurchase.

13. Reverse Repo

Reverse repo is the opposite side of a repo transaction from the perspective of the liquidity provider.

In a traditional reverse-repo description, the entity placing funds receives securities as collateral and earns the applicable return.

Important 2026 Exam Note: Do not blindly treat "reverse repo" as the current primary RBI liquidity-absorption tool in every context. RBI's operating framework has evolved, including the use of the Standing Deposit Facility (SDF). Always check the latest RBI monetary-policy framework for current operational details.

14. Treasury Bills (T-Bills)

Treasury Bills are short-term Government securities used to meet short-term Government funding requirements.

Important Characteristics

  • Issued by the Government of India.
  • Short-term Government securities.
  • Part of the money market.
  • Issued at a discount and redeemed at face value.
  • Highly liquid Government instruments.
  • Do not normally pay a periodic coupon like a conventional fixed-rate bond.
Most Important: Treasury Bill = Short-term Government security = Money Market.

15. Types of Treasury Bills

Important Treasury Bill maturities used in India include:

T-Bill Maturity
91-Day Treasury Bill 91 days
182-Day Treasury Bill 182 days
364-Day Treasury Bill 364 days
Exam Trap: Treasury Bills are not 1-year-plus capital-market bonds. Their maturity is within one year.

16. Treasury Bill Discount and Yield

Treasury Bills are normally issued at a price below their face value and redeemed at face value.

Simple Return Concept

Return = Face Value − Purchase Price

For example, if a T-Bill with face value ₹100 is purchased for ₹98 and redeemed at ₹100:

Return = ₹100 − ₹98 = ₹2

The actual annualised yield calculation also depends on the price, day-count convention and maturity period.

17. Cash Management Bills (CMBs)

Cash Management Bills (CMBs) are short-term Government securities introduced to meet temporary cash-flow mismatches of the Government.

  • They are short-term Government securities.
  • They are used for temporary cash management.
  • Their maturity is generally shorter than one year.
  • They are different from regular Treasury Bills in their purpose and issuance pattern.
Remember: CMB → Cash Management → Temporary Government cash mismatch.

18. Commercial Paper (CP)

Commercial Paper is a short-term money-market instrument issued by eligible entities for raising short-term funds.

Important Features

  • Generally unsecured.
  • Short-term debt instrument.
  • Issued by eligible entities subject to RBI regulations.
  • Used mainly for working-capital and other short-term funding requirements.
  • Can provide an alternative to bank borrowing for eligible issuers.
Memory: CP = Commercial Paper = Short-term corporate borrowing.

19. Certificate of Deposit (CD)

A Certificate of Deposit (CD) is a negotiable money-market instrument issued by eligible banks and financial institutions according to applicable regulatory conditions.

Key Features

  • Negotiable money-market instrument.
  • Used for short-term funding.
  • Issued by eligible institutions.
  • Different from an ordinary fixed deposit.
  • Subject to applicable RBI rules regarding maturity, denomination and eligibility.
Memory: CD = Certificate of Deposit = Negotiable short-term deposit instrument.

20. TREPS — Tri-Party Repo

TREPS stands for Tri-Party Repo. It is a collateralised short-term borrowing and lending mechanism involving a third-party agent in addition to the borrower and lender.

Three Parties

  1. Borrower
  2. Lender
  3. Tri-party agent

Role of the Tri-Party Agent

  • Facilitates collateral management.
  • Supports settlement.
  • Helps manage collateral substitution and related processes.
  • Reduces operational complexity between borrowers and lenders.
Exam Point: TREPS = Tri-Party Repo.

21. What is Triparty Repo?

In a normal bilateral repo, two counterparties transact against collateral.

In a tri-party repo, a third-party agent provides services related to collateral management and settlement.

Feature Bilateral Repo Tri-Party Repo
Parties Two main counterparties Borrower + lender + third-party agent
Collateral Management Handled between counterparties Supported by third-party agent
Purpose Secured short-term funding Secured short-term funding with centralised collateral services

22. CBLO — Historical Money Market Instrument

CBLO stands for Collateralised Borrowing and Lending Obligation.

CBLO was an important collateralised money-market borrowing and lending mechanism in India.

It is important for exams from a historical/current-affairs perspective because the market structure later transitioned toward the tri-party repo framework.

Exam Trap: Do not describe CBLO as if it is the principal current market product without considering the transition to the TREPS framework.

23. CBLO to TREPS — Important Evolution

India's collateralised money-market framework evolved from the earlier CBLO mechanism toward the tri-party repo framework.

Therefore, older study materials may prominently mention CBLO while newer material refers to TREPS.

Exam Memory:
Old/legacy reference → CBLO
Current tri-party repo framework → TREPS

24. Call Money vs Notice Money vs Term Money

Feature Call Money Notice Money Term Money
Duration Overnight More than overnight up to 14 days More than 14 days up to one year
Purpose Very short-term liquidity Short-term liquidity Short-term funding
Market Money Market Money Market Money Market

25. Repo vs Reverse Repo

Basis Repo Reverse Repo
Basic Perspective Borrowing funds against securities Placing/lending funds against securities
Liquidity Effect in Traditional Policy Description Liquidity injection Liquidity absorption
Security Collateralised Collateralised
Current RBI operating-framework questions should be answered using the latest RBI monetary-policy framework because liquidity facilities and operational tools can evolve.

26. Commercial Paper vs Certificate of Deposit

Basis Commercial Paper Certificate of Deposit
Short Form CP CD
Nature Short-term debt instrument Negotiable deposit instrument
Issuer Eligible corporates/entities Eligible banks/financial institutions
Purpose Short-term corporate funding Short-term institutional funding

27. Treasury Bill vs Government Bond

Basis Treasury Bill Government Bond
Maturity Up to one year Generally more than one year
Market Money Market Government securities/capital-market segment
Return Structure Generally issued at discount May carry coupon or other specified return structure
Purpose Short-term Government funding Medium/long-term Government funding

28. RBI and the Money Market

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is the central monetary authority and plays a major role in the functioning of India's money market.

Important RBI Roles

  • Conducts monetary policy operations.
  • Manages systemic liquidity.
  • Uses eligible liquidity-management instruments.
  • Regulates banks and relevant financial-market activities.
  • Supports orderly functioning of money markets.
  • Influences short-term interest rates through monetary policy operations.
  • Provides standing and other liquidity facilities according to the current framework.

29. Money Market and Monetary Policy

Monetary policy affects the availability and cost of funds in the financial system. Because banks operate heavily in short-term funding markets, money-market rates are important for monetary-policy transmission.

Important Policy Tools

  • Repo rate
  • Standing Deposit Facility
  • Marginal Standing Facility
  • Cash Reserve Ratio
  • Open Market Operations
  • Liquidity Adjustment Facility-related operations
  • Variable Rate Repo operations
  • Variable Rate Reverse Repo operations, where applicable
Concept: Monetary policy changes can affect money-market liquidity and short-term interest rates, which then influence broader financial conditions.

30. Liquidity Management

Liquidity management means ensuring that financial institutions have sufficient funds to meet their payment and settlement obligations while efficiently managing surplus funds.

Example

If a bank temporarily needs funds to meet its obligations, it may access eligible money-market or central-bank liquidity facilities.

If a bank has surplus funds, it may deploy them in eligible short-term instruments, subject to applicable regulations.

31. Important Money Market Rates

Rate/Term Meaning
Call Rate Rate for very short-term/call money transactions
Repo Rate Rate associated with eligible repo transactions and a key monetary-policy rate
Reverse Repo Rate Rate associated with reverse repo operations under the applicable framework
MSF Rate Rate applicable to Marginal Standing Facility borrowing
SDF Rate Rate applicable to Standing Deposit Facility
T-Bill Yield Market yield on Treasury Bills
CP Rate/Yield Market return/yield associated with Commercial Paper

32. Money Market Yield

Yield represents the return earned on a money-market instrument relative to its price and holding period.

For discounted instruments such as Treasury Bills, the investor's return is generated from the difference between the purchase price and redemption value.

Simple return = (Redemption Value − Purchase Price) / Purchase Price × 100

Annualised yield calculations may use different conventions depending on the instrument and market rules.

33. Risks in Money Market

Risk Explanation
Interest Rate Risk Changes in interest rates can affect market values and funding costs.
Credit Risk Counterparty may fail to meet obligations.
Liquidity Risk Difficulty in obtaining funds or selling instruments quickly.
Settlement Risk Failure or delay in completing settlement.
Operational Risk Failures in systems, processes, people or external events.
Market Risk Adverse changes in market prices/rates.

34. Advantages of Money Market

36. Technology and Money Market

Modern money markets depend heavily on electronic trading, clearing, settlement, collateral management and reporting systems.

  • Electronic trading platforms improve transaction efficiency.
  • Electronic settlement reduces operational risk.
  • Collateral-management systems support repo markets.
  • Real-time information improves liquidity management.
  • Automated risk controls support market participants.

37. Regulation of Money Market

India's money market operates under a regulatory framework involving the RBI and other applicable authorities depending on the instrument and participant.

Important Regulatory Areas

  • Eligibility of participants.
  • Permitted instruments.
  • Maturity requirements.
  • Collateral requirements.
  • Reporting and disclosure.
  • Risk management.
  • Settlement requirements.
  • Prudential requirements.

38. Exam-Oriented Concepts

Money Market = Short-Term

Whenever a question mentions short-term funds, liquidity management, Treasury Bills, Commercial Paper, Certificate of Deposit, call money or repo, think primarily about the money market.

Capital Market = Long-Term

Shares, long-term bonds and other long-term financing instruments are generally associated with the capital market.

Secured vs Unsecured

  • Repo = secured by eligible securities.
  • Commercial Paper = generally unsecured.
  • Call money = borrowing/lending without the same collateral structure as repo.

39. Important Exam Traps

Trap 1: Money Market deals with short-term funds; Capital Market mainly deals with medium and long-term funds.
Trap 2: Treasury Bills are money-market instruments.
Trap 3: Commercial Paper is a short-term corporate debt instrument.
Trap 4: Certificate of Deposit is a negotiable money-market instrument.
Trap 5: Call money is associated with overnight funding.
Trap 6: Notice money is generally more than overnight and up to 14 days.
Trap 7: Term money generally extends beyond 14 days up to one year.
Trap 8: Repo is a secured transaction involving securities.
Trap 9: TREPS means Tri-Party Repo.
Trap 10: CBLO is an older/legacy collateralised money-market mechanism.
Trap 11: RBI has a major role in India's money market.
Trap 12: Current monetary-policy questions involving reverse repo should be checked against the latest RBI operating framework.

40. Numerical Examples

Example 1 — Treasury Bill

Face value = ₹100

Purchase price = ₹97

Return = ₹100 − ₹97 = ₹3

The investor receives ₹3 as the gross price difference at redemption, before considering the exact yield calculation and other applicable factors.

Example 2 — Simple Discount Return

Suppose an instrument is purchased for ₹98 and redeemed for ₹100.

Simple return = (100 − 98) / 98 × 100 = 2.0408%

The annualised return would depend on the maturity period and applicable day-count convention.

Example 3 — Call Money

Suppose a bank needs ₹500 crore overnight and borrows it through an eligible call-money transaction.

The borrowing cost will depend on the prevailing call rate and the applicable transaction terms.
