Inflation: Inflation pays significant role to influence the monetary policy of Reserve Bank of India. RBI forces the Banks to hike interest rates. b. Liquidity: Liquidity in the system is another parameter which influences interest rates. It influences the cost of acquisition of funds for the banks.
