MUMBAI (Reuters) - The Reserve Bank of India said on Tuesday it was raising its cash reserve ratio (CRR), the amount of funds banks have to keep with it on deposit, by 50 basis points to 7.5 percent on Nov. 10.

It left its key interest rates unchanged.

This takes the total increase in the CRR since December to 250 basis points as it tries to cool credit growth and money supply.

The following is a chronology of changes in the cash reserve ratio. The data is sourced from the Reserve Bank of India's Web site www.rbi.org.in
