      Question

      Under Section 20 of the RBI Act, 1934, the Bank is

      obliged to undertake which of the following on behalf of the Central Government?
      A To regulate all scheduled banks Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B To issue all forms of coin Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C To collect all taxes due to the Government Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D To audit the accounts of the Government Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E To accept monies, make payments and manage the public debt of the Union Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Section 20 imposes on the Bank the obligation to transact Government business. It must undertake to accept monies for the account of the Central Government, to make payments up to the amount standing to the credit of its account, and to carry out its exchange, remittance and other banking operations, including the management of the public debt of the Union. This is a foundational central banking function. The correct obligation under Section 20 is accepting monies, making payments and managing the public debt.
