Repo is an expense(interest) to the Bank and where as in the case of Reverse repo, its an income to the bank.It is one of the tools a bank can use for short term investment.
Rajesh,even i have been wanting to know about the two terms REPO AND REVERSE REPO...but no info as yet...any body with the ans???
REVERSE REPO IS THE RATE AT WHICH RBI BORROWS MONEY FROM BANK, REPO IS OPPOSITE TO IT. REPO MEANS REPORTING RATE.  THESE IS USED BY RBI OR CENTRAL BANK TO CONTROL LIQUIDITY.

A Repo is a repurchase agreement or a ready forward sale. Under this transaction a holder of securities (Govt Bonds) sells them to an investor with an agreement to repurchase them at a fixed price on a fixed date.

 

On the otherhand, Reverse Repo means injecting liquidity into the market as RBI repurchase the Goverment security from banks as these Government securities were sold by RBI with the agreement of repurchase.
