(vii) Monetary Controls:
In addition to foreign exchange regulations, other
monetary controls are sometimes employed to regulate trade, particularly
imports. For instance, to tide over the foreign exchange crisis in 1990-91 and
1991-92, the Reserve Bank of India took several measures which included as 25
per cent interest rate surcharge on bank credit for imports subject to a
commercial rate of interest of a minimum 17 per cent, the requirement of
substantially high cash margin requirement on most imports other than capital
goods, and restrictions on the opening of letters of credit for imports.
