      Question

      Under the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934, what is the

      capital of the Reserve Bank of India as provided in Section 4?
      A Five crores of rupees Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Two crores of rupees Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Ten crores of rupees Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Fifteen crores of rupees Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E One hundred crores of rupees Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Section 4 of the RBI Act, 1934 expressly states that the capital of the Bank shall be five crores of rupees. This provision was substituted by the Reserve Bank (Transfer to Public Ownership) Act, 1948 with effect from 1-1-1949. The figure has remained unchanged in the bare Act since then. Candidates frequently confuse this with the Reserve Fund contribution, which is also five crores of rupees under Section 46. The correct statutory figure for the Bank's capital is five crores of rupees.
