FAQs about Money, Banking and the RBI – GK Quiz with Answers – Level 3

Why do banks borrow money from RBI?
Banks borrow from the RBI to meet short-term shortages of funds and to keep the reserves they are required to hold. The main window for such borrowing is the repo facility, where banks pledge government securities.
How does RBI get money?
The RBI earns mainly through interest on the government securities and foreign assets it holds, and through interest on money it lends to banks. Its surplus income is transferred to the central government.
What is repo rate in RBI?
The repo rate is the rate at which the RBI lends short-term money to commercial banks against government securities. Raising it makes borrowing costlier and reduces money supply.
What are the main functions of the RBI?
The RBI issues currency notes, acts as banker to the government and to banks, controls credit through monetary policy, and is the custodian of India's foreign exchange reserves.
