It formulates regulations, monitors the activities of mutual funds, and enforces compliance with the necessary rules and regulations.

    Explanation
    The Reserve Bank of India was nationalized on 1 January, 1949. This means that the control and ownership of the central bank of India was transferred to the government. Nationalization of the Reserve Bank of India was a significant step taken by the Indian government to ensure better regulation and control over the country's monetary policy and financial system. This move aimed to strengthen the government's influence and decision-making power in the banking sector, ultimately leading to more effective economic management.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which of the following are likely to lead to international financial crises? 

    • A.

      International business

    • B.

      Exchange rate profit and large international long-term lending.

    • C.

      Waves of over lending and over borrowing.

    • D.

      High rate of oil price

    Correct Answer
    C. Waves of over lending and over borrowing.
    Explanation
    Waves of over lending and over borrowing are likely to lead to international financial crises because they create a situation where there is excessive debt in the economy. When lenders provide too much credit and borrowers take on more debt than they can handle, it creates a bubble that eventually bursts, leading to financial instability. This can result in defaults, bankruptcies, and a collapse of the financial system, causing a ripple effect across countries and leading to a global financial crisis.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    It is claimed that the global financial crisis starting in 2007 was partially caused by poor regulation of the world financial system. A major problem with regulation of financial institutions is: 

    • A.

      The variety of different national regulatory systems.

    • B.

      The Basel II Framework has been too effective.

    • C.

      Banks have provided regulators with too much information on their activities.

    • D.

      Regulators were well informed about the new financial products created by financial institutions.

    Correct Answer
    A. The variety of different national regulatory systems.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the variety of different national regulatory systems. This is because the global financial crisis was partially caused by poor regulation of the world financial system, and one of the major problems with regulation was the lack of consistency and coordination among different countries' regulatory systems. This allowed for regulatory arbitrage, where financial institutions could exploit loopholes and differences in regulations across different jurisdictions to engage in risky behavior. This lack of harmonization and coordination among regulatory systems made it difficult to effectively monitor and regulate financial institutions on a global scale.

    RBI regulates the interest rates on 

    • A.

      Interest rates on loans given to exporters

    • B.

      Savings deposits

    • C.

      FCNR

    • D.

      Current account

    Correct Answer
    B. Savings deposits
    Explanation
    The RBI regulates the interest rates on savings deposits. This is because savings deposits are a common form of deposit for individuals and households, and the RBI wants to ensure that banks offer fair and competitive rates to encourage savings. By regulating these rates, the RBI can also influence the overall liquidity in the banking system and control inflationary pressures.

    • A.

      Multilateral development banks

    • B.

      Currency Management

    • C.

      Urban cooperative banks

    • D.

      SIDBI, NHB and EXIM bank

    Correct Answer
    A. Multilateral development banks
    Explanation
    Multilateral development banks are outside the regulatory control of RBI because they are international financial institutions that operate independently and are governed by their own regulations and policies. These banks provide financial assistance and support for development projects in various countries, and their operations are overseen by a board of directors representing member countries. As such, they are not subject to the regulatory authority of the Reserve Bank of India.

    Which of the following has not fully implemented core banking solution yet? 

    • A.

      Urban cooperative banks

    • B.

      Regional rural banks

    • C.

      Scheduled commercial banks

    • D.

      Infrastructure Finance Companies

    Correct Answer
    A. Urban cooperative banks
    Explanation
    Urban cooperative banks have not fully implemented core banking solution yet. This means that these banks have not fully integrated their banking operations and services into a centralized system. Unlike other types of banks such as regional rural banks, scheduled commercial banks, and infrastructure finance companies, urban cooperative banks still rely on manual processes and have not fully adopted technology-driven solutions for their banking operations. This may result in limitations in terms of efficiency, accessibility, and convenience for customers and may also pose challenges in terms of data management and security.

NBFC stands for Non-Banking Financial Company, which is a company that provides financial services similar to traditional banks, but does not hold a banking license. Both A and B fall under this category as they provide financial services in the infrastructure sector.

NHB plays a crucial role in providing financial assistance to individuals who may not have access to traditional banking services, thereby promoting affordable housing and social inclusion.

      A bank deposit scheme exclusively for employees of insurance companies

    Correct Answer
    A. A composite financial service offering both bank and insurance product
    Explanation

This means that customers can access both banking services, such as deposits and loans, as well as insurance products, such as life insurance or property insurance, through a single institution. This integrated approach allows customers to conveniently manage their financial needs in one place, while also providing the institution with an opportunity to cross-sell and offer a wider range of products to their customers.

The RBI's main functions include deciding bank rates, managing currency, and prescribing capital adequacy ratios to ensure the stability and regulation of the banking system.

    • B.

      Raising the Bank Rates

    Correct Answer
    A. Purchase of Securities in the Open Markets
    Explanation
    Purchase of Securities in the Open Markets cannot be called an anti-inflationary measure because it involves the central bank buying securities from the open market, which increases the money supply in the economy. This increase in money supply can potentially lead to inflation rather than controlling it. Therefore, it is not an effective measure to combat inflation.

    Correct Answer
    A. To ensure that money deposited in the banks has come from genuine sources.
    Explanation
    The purpose of introducing 'Know Your Customer' norms by the bank is to ensure that money deposited in the banks has come from genuine sources. This is done to prevent money laundering and other illegal activities by verifying the identity and financial transactions of customers. By implementing these norms, banks can maintain the integrity of the financial system and protect against fraudulent activities.

    • D.

      Base Rate

    Correct Answer

It refers to the portion of a bank's total deposits that must be maintained with the central bank in the form of reserves. By adjusting the CRR, the RBI can control the liquidity in the banking system, impacting the lending capacity of banks and influencing overall economic conditions. Therefore, CRR is an important tool for the RBI to regulate and manage monetary policy in the country.

This classification allows RRBs to access various banking facilities and services provided by the RBI, such as borrowing from the RBI's liquidity support and participating in the clearing system. RRBs are established with the aim of providing credit and other banking services to the rural population, and their classification as scheduled commercial banks ensures their regulatory oversight and integration into the banking system.
