Mumbai, May 24

The limit for Ways and Means Advances (WMA) to the Government will be Rs 20,000 crore for the first half of the year, 2007-08 (April to September) and Rs 6,000 crore for the second half of the year (October to March). "When 75 per cent of the limit of WMA is utilised by Government, the RBI may trigger fresh floatation of market loans," said a press release by the RBI. The interest rate on WMA or overdraft under WMA will be at repo rate of 7.75 per cent while under overdraft the rate will be two per cent above the repo rate (9.75 per cent).
