@RajorshiKoyal Please ask new questions as new questions, but note that most of these are terminology questions. You can get a vague idea by googling the term, and a better but still incomplete idea by reading several books.

Based on the information you gave, the word "it" in "It is a macroeconomic policy" probably refers to "monetary policy" in the title. Are you asking what the expression "monetary policy" means? Or are you asking about a specific monetary policy?

To quote from the book, "Indian Economy by Nitin Singhania," this is what I found out,"It is a macroeconomic policy used by RBI to influence the supply of money." What is meant by macroeconomic policy here?
