It is of two types:

Monetary policy / monetary management:
It is regarded as an important tool of economic management in India. To push up growth this policy determines the amount of money and credit that will be available to various sector of the economy, whether it is High scale Sector or Small scale Sector. While adopting this policy, it has also to keep in mind that money supply does not exceed the genuine demands of various sectors and lead to inflation.
To strike a balance between the two objectives of pushing growth on the one hand and control inflation on the other, RBI has followed a policy of CONTROLLED EXPANSION that means money supply is expanded to meet only the genuine requirement of various sector taking a caution that it does not leads to inflation.

Objectives of Monetary Policy in INDIA:

1.    Growth With Stability :
Traditionally, RBI’s monetary policy was focused on controlling inflation through contraction of money supply and credit. This resulted in poor growth performance. Thus, RBI has now adopted the policy of ‘Growth with Stability’ as earlier discussed. This means sufficient credit will be available for growing needs of different sectors of economy and at the same time, inflation will be controlled.
