      Question

      supply in India?
      A Currency with the public Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Demand deposits with banks Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Other deposits with RBI Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Time deposits with banks Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Traveler's checks Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      • In India's monetary aggregates:
        • M1 (Narrow Money)  =  Currency with the Public  +  Demand Deposits with Banks  +  'Other' Deposits with RBI  (which mainly comprises deposits of foreign central banks, international institutions, etc.).
        • Time Deposits  (fixed deposits, recurring deposits) are  not  part of M1. They are included in  M3 (Broad Money) , which is M1 + Time Deposits with Banks. M1 represents the most liquid forms of money readily available for transactions.
