Brought to you by - Competition ZENITH Open Market Operations:  Open market operations consist of buying and selling of government securities by the Reserve Bank. Open market operations have a direct effect on the availability and cost of credit. When the central bank purchases securities from the banks, it increases their cash reserve position and hence, their credit creation capacity. On the other hand, when the central bank sells securities to the banks, it reduces their cash  reserves and the credit creation capacity. The Reserve Bank of India did not rely much on open market operations to control credit. It was not used for influencing the availability of credit. Due to under-developed security market, the open market operations of the Reserve Bank are restricted to Government securities. These operations have also been used as a tool of public debt management. They assist the Indian government to raise borrowings.
