    Which among the following is not a measure to control inflation adopted by the Government or the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)?      

    • 1) Monetary Policy

    • 2) Fiscal Policy

    • 3) Public Distribution System

    • 4) Price Control

    • 5) Financial Inclusion

    Correct Answer
    A. 3) Public Distribution System
    Explanation
    The Public Distribution System (PDS) is a government initiative that aims to provide subsidized food and essential commodities to the economically disadvantaged sections of society. It is not directly related to controlling inflation. Monetary policy, fiscal policy, price control, and financial inclusion are measures that can be used to control inflation by regulating the money supply, government spending, prices, and access to financial services respectively.

    Which among the following cannot be called an ante inflationary measure?      

    • 1) Raising the Bank Rate

    • 2) Raising the Reserve Ratio requirement

    • 3) Purchase of security in the Open Markets

    • 4) Rationing of the credit

    • 5) None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. 3) Purchase of security in the Open Markets
    Explanation
    The purchase of securities in the open market is actually an expansionary monetary policy measure, not an anti-inflationary measure. When the central bank purchases securities in the open market, it injects money into the economy, which increases the money supply and stimulates economic activity. This can potentially lead to inflation, rather than controlling it. Therefore, purchasing securities in the open market cannot be considered an anti-inflationary measure.

    Explanation
    The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has supported the tightening of monetary policy in India. This means that the IMF has endorsed measures taken by the Indian government to control inflation and stabilize the economy by reducing the money supply and increasing interest rates. This support from the IMF indicates that they believe these measures are necessary and effective in addressing economic challenges in India.

While foreign grants can contribute to a country's overall budget, they do not directly address the budgetary deficit. The other options listed, such as market borrowing, deficit financing, increasing taxes, and reducing taxes and increasing subsidies, are all measures that the government can use to reduce its budgetary deficit.
