    Solution

    In India, Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) play a crucial role in extending small-ticket loans to low-income households and entrepreneurs who generally lack access to traditional banking services. • The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is the primary regulator of MFIs and NBFC-MFIs. • RBI issues prudential norms, lending guidelines, and fair practices codes to ensure that MFIs operate transparently and that borrowers are protected from over-indebtedness. • Institutions such as NABARD and SIDBI play a supportive role in refinancing and promoting microfinance but do not regulate them.  Correct Answer: Reserve Bank of India (RBI)
