      Solution

      Section 17(5) authorises the Bank to make to the Central Government and State Governments advances repayable in each case not later than three months from the date of the making of the advance. These are commonly known as Ways and Means Advances. This short-term accommodation helps Governments bridge temporary mismatches between receipts and expenditure. The correct repayment period for such advances is not later than three months.
