    D ₹450 crore Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E ₹500 crore Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The current Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) set by the RBI is 4%. Therefore, a bank with NDTL of ₹10,000 crore must maintain ₹400 crore (4% of ₹10,000 crore) as CRR with the RBI. This amount is kept in a non-interest bearing account, serving as a monetary policy tool and liquidity management mechanism.
