      Question

      For what maximum term can the Governor and a Deputy

      Governor of the RBI hold office under Section 8(4) of the RBI Act, 1934?
      A A term not exceeding three years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B A term not exceeding five years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C A term not exceeding four years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D A term not exceeding six years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E A term during the pleasure of the Central Government Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Section 8(4) provides that the Governor and a Deputy Governor shall hold office for such term not exceeding five years as the Central Government may fix when appointing them, and they shall be eligible for re-appointment. This is distinct from a Director nominated under clause (c), who holds office for four years. The five-year ceiling along with eligibility for re-appointment is the correct statutory position for the Governor and Deputy Governors.
