CHAPTER -13-MONEY AND BANKING
CASE STUDY BASED QUESTIONS

Case 1 The power of commercial banks which enables them to expand their deposits through
loans is called credit creation. Legal Reserve Ratio is the minimum reserve that a
commercial bank must maintain in a liquid form as per the instructions of the Central
banks. LRR has two components(i) Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR)-It is the fraction of net
total demand and time deposits that commercial banks must keep as cash reserves with
Central bank. (ii) Statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) – it is the fraction of net total demand
and time deposits that commercial banks must keep themselves in the form of specified
liquid assets.
Assumptions of Credit creation-(i)There is a single banking system in the economy. (ii)
All transactions are outed through the banks
Commercial banks are called the factories of credit. They advance much more than
what they collect from the people in the form of deposits. Through the process of credit
creation, the commercial banks provide finance to all the sectors of economy.

3.Which of the following are the assumptions of credit creation process?

Case 2 The Central Bank of India is an apex body in the banking and financial structure of a
country which was established in 1935.The Central bank enjoys the sole monopoly of
issuing currency. It acts as a banker, agent and advisor to the government. The Central
bank has the same relation with the commercial banks as the later has with the general

Read the following case study paragraph carefully and answer the questions on the basis of
Case -3
the same. Repo (repurchase) rate also known as the benchmark interest rate is the rate at
which the RBI lends money to the commercial banks for a short-term (a maximum of 90
days). When the repo rate increases, borrowing from RBI becomes more expensive. If RBI
wants to make it more expensive for the banks to borrow money, it increases the repo rate
similarly, if it wants to make it cheaper for banks to borrow money it reduces the repo rate. If
the repo rate is increased, banks can’t carry out their business at a profit whereas the very
opposite happens when the repo rate is cut down. Generally, repo rates are cut down
whenever the country needs to progress in banking and economy. If banks want to borrow
money (for short term, usually overnight) from RBI then banks have to charge this interest
rate. Banks have to pledge government securities as collateral. This kind of deal happens
through a re-purchase agreement. If a bank wants to borrow, it has to provide government
securities at least worth ₹ 1 billion (could be more because of margin requirement which is
5%–10% of loan amount) and agree to repurchase them at ₹1.07 billion (US$15 million) at
the end of borrowing period. So the bank has paid ₹65 million (US$910,000) as interest.
This is the reason it is called repo rate.
1.What kind of tool Repo rate is:-
a) Qualitative tool b) Quantitative tool
c) Fiscal tool c) None of these
2.Why Repo rate is called Repurchasing rate:-
a) Commercial bank has to mortgage its securities with RBI
b) Commercial bank has to make an agreement to repurchase the securities mortgage with
RBI
c) Commercial banks have to pay interest on borrowings
d) None of These
3.If inflationary conditions persist in economy then what should be done with Repo rate:
a) Repo rate should be reduced
b) Repo rate should be increased

2|Page 8 October 2021,ZIET BHUBANESWAR


c) Does not change Repo rate
d) None of above
4.On which type of borrowing Repo rate is charged by RBI
a) On short term borrowings
b) No long term borrowings
c) Borrowings to maintain reserves
d) Borrowings to purchase assets

Case 4 Read the following case study paragraph carefully and answer the questions based on the
same.
The central bank of India (Reserve Bank of India) is the apex institution that controls the
entire financial market. It’s one of the major functions is to maintain the reserve of foreign
exchange. Also, it intervenes in the foreign exchange market to stabilise the excessive
fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate. In other words, it is the central bank’s job to
control a country’s economy through monetary policy.
If the economy is moving slowly or going backward, there are steps that central bank can
take to boost the economy. These steps, whether they are asset purchases or printing more
money, all involve injecting more cash into the economy. The simple supply and demand
economic projection occur and currency will devalue. When the opposite occurs, and the
economy is growing, the central bank will use various methods to keep that growth steady
and in-line with other economic factors such as wages and prices.
Whatever the central bank does or in fact don’t do, will affect the currency of that country.
Sometimes, it is within the central bank’s interest to purposefully affect the value of a
currency. For example, if the economy is heavily reliant on exports and their currency value
becomes too high, importers of that country’s commodities will seek cheaper supply; hence
directly affecting the economy.

the same.
The Reserve Bank of India raised inflation forecasts on the back of higher oil and other raw
materials while it maintained the growth forecast at 9.5% for FY22 despite anemic
investment demand. Governor Shaktikanta Das said inflation measured by the consumer
price index (CPI) might remain close to the upper tolerance band of 6% up to September
expecting easing of pressure thereafter on kharif harvest arrivals.
[RBI has fixed inflation rate target in between 2%-6 %.]
The central bank projected CPI at 5.7% for FY22 compared to its earlier projection of 5.1%.

the slack in the economy. A pre-emptive monetary policy response at this stage may kill the
nascent and hesitant recovery that is trying to secure a foothold in extremely difficult
conditions,” Das said.
Crude oil prices are volatile with implications for imported cost pressures on inflation, RBI
said. “The combination of elevated prices of industrial raw materials, high pump prices of

[RBI has fixed inflation rate target in between 2%-6 %.]
The central bank projected CPI at 5.7% for FY22 compared to its earlier projection of 5.1%.
“The supply-side drivers could be transitory while demand-pull pressures remain inert, given
the slack in the economy. A pre-emptive monetary policy response at this stage may kill the
nascent and hesitant recovery that is trying to secure a foothold in extremely difficult
conditions,” Das said.

Case-7
The reserve bank of India unexpectedly cut its key deposit rate for the second time in three
weeks, to discourage banks from parking idle funds with it and spur lending instead, to
revive a flagging economy amid the corona virus lockdown.

This week, Prime Minister NarendraModi extended until May 3 a lockdown of population of
1.3 billion as India’s tally of infections exceeded 10000, despite the 3 week shutdown order
from March 24.

The RBI cut its reverse repo rate by 25 basis points (bps) to 3.75 percent with immediate
effect. GovernerShaktikanta Das told a video conference. The rate had already been cut by
90bps on March 27.

“The surplus liquidity in the banking system has risen significantly in the wake of
government spending and the various liquidity enhancing measures undertaken by the
RBI”.He added. “In order to encourage banks to deploy these surplus funds in investments

India’s total Money Supply (M3) stood at Rs 17804885 crore as on October 23rd 2020,
Case-8
recording a rise of 11.60% over the same time last year. Currency with the public stood at Rs
2619612, up 21.2% over the year. Demand deposits with banks were up 10% at Rs 1625734
crore. Time deposits with banks were also up 10% at Rs 13518822 crore. The bank credit to
commercial sector rose 5.2% on year to Rs 10999604 crore.

Money supply in the economy has increased over the months. We can look at money
supply from component side and sources side. One of the ways of measuring money supply
is M3, which is sum of the currency with the public, the demand deposits with the banking
system, which included current deposits and saving deposits, the time deposits with the
banking system, such as fixed deposits and recurring deposits, and other deposits of RBI.
The currency with the public has grown by more than 21% since June and so have bank
deposits. This led to M3 growing by over 12% since June.

Heightened uncertainty in India caused by the corona virus pandemic has led to a surge in
currency in circulation as people hoard cash or park money in accessible deposits to

7|Page 8 October 2021,ZIET BHUBANESWAR


safeguard themselves against salary cut or job losses.

Foreign money continuously keeps coming to India, Leading to an increase in demand for
the rupee against the dollar. To prevent rupee from appreciating, RBI sold rupees and bought
dollars adding to the increase in M3.

1.Money supply in the economy has increased over 5 months since June due to:
(a) Public holding cash for transaction and precautionary motive.

Demonetisation was a new initiative taken by the Government of India to tackle the
problem of corruption, black money, terrorism and circulation of fake currency in the
economy. Old currency notes of Rs 500, and Rs 1000 were no longer legal tender. New
currency notes in the denomination of Rs 500 and Rs 2000 were launched. The public were
advised to deposit old currency notes in their bank account till 31 December 2016 without
any declaration and upto 31March 2017 with the RBI with declaration.
Further to avoid a complete breakdown and cash crunch, notes government had
allowed exchange of Rs 4000 old currency the by new currency per person and per day.
Further till 12 December 2016, old currency notes were acceptable as legal tender at petrol

pumps, government hospitals and for payment of government dues, like taxes, power bills,
etc.
This move received both appreciation and criticism. There were long queues outside
banks and ATM booths. The shortage of currency in circulation had an adverse impact on
the economic activities. However, things improved with time and normalcy returned.
This move has had positive impact also. It improved tax compliance as a large
number of people were bought in the tax ambit. The savings of an individual were
channelised into the formal financial system. As a result, banks have more resources at their
disposal which can be used to provide more loans at lower interest rates. It is a
demonstration of State’s decision to put a curb on black money, showing that tax evasion
will no longer be tolerated.
