what is the difference between bank rate and repo rate?

Repo or Repurchase rate is the rate at which banks borrow funds from the RBI to meet the gap between the demand they are facing for money (loans) and how much they have on hand to lend.

The only difference between the two
is that in REPO RATE, there is sale of security to RBI on an
agreement to" repurchase" it at a future date at
predetermined price.That is why the term REPO means
"REPURCHASE AGREEMENT".Whereas in BANK RATE, there is no
such sale or repurchase agreement.It takes place as mere
lending of money to commercial banks at fixed rate ,i.e the
bank rate.
