Now RBI has shifted to a bi-monthly policy review, which means that the RBI will announce monetary policy review with a gap of every two months.

Open Market Operations refer to the purchase or sale of government securities by RBI.
- When the RBI sells securities in the market, money gets transferred from the commercial banks to RBI. This transfer decreases money supply in the system. Shortage of money in the system can help control spending by individuals or companies and harness inflation.
- When the RBI purchases securities from the market, money gets transferred from RBI to the commercial banks, thus increasing the money supply in the system. This is done if economic growth is slowing down.

- Insurance: Life and Non-life etc.
