The central bank also decided to continue with the enhanced interim WMA limit of ₹51,560 crore granted by RBI due to the pandemic for a further period of six months (September 30, 2021).

Under WMA, States and UTs get short-term credit up to three months from the RBI to bridge temporary mismatches in cash flows.
