What function do commercial banks in India perform?

Solution

Commercial banks in India perform various functions, including accepting deposits, making loans, and providing other banking services. One of their key functions is credit creation, where they create new money by making loans to borrowers, thereby increasing the money supply in the economy. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) issues currency, provides banking services to the government, and regulates credit in the economy, but these are not functions of commercial banks.
