 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of study

This study investigates the pivotal role of the Reserve
Bank of India (RBI) in maintaining the stability of the country's
financial system. As the central banking authority, the RBI
wields significant influence over monetary policies and
regulatory frameworks, impacting the overall health of the
financial sector in India.

In the face of a rapidly changing financial landscape,

understanding how the RBI has historically navigated challenges
becomes crucial. This paper aims to shed light on the regulatory
and supervisory measures implemented by the RBI, its monetary
policy decisions, and crisis management strategies. By examining
the historical context and potential areas for improvement, the
study provides a comprehensive overview of the RBI's
contribution to fostering resilience and stability within the
Indian financial ecosystem.

This study explores how the RBI's rules and decisions influence
the stability of banks and our overall economy. By looking back
at what has happened, we can see how the RBI works to make
sure our money system stays safe and strong.

 1.6 Importance of the Study

The importance of this study lies in its potential to

significantly impact various aspects of economic decision-making, policy
formulation, and stakeholder awareness. By comprehensively examining
the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) role in maintaining financial stability,
the research provides policymakers with invaluable insights into the
effectiveness of current policies. This, in turn, empowers them to make
informed decisions related to investments, monetary strategies, and risk
management.

Moreover, stakeholders, including investors and businesses,

benefit from a heightened awareness of the factors influencing financial
stability and the direct impact of central bank policies on their interests.
The study's academic contribution extends to enriching the existing
literature, potentially inspiring further research and discourse in the field
of central banking and financial stability. Beyond the academic realm, a
clear understanding of the RBI's role fosters confidence in financial
markets, influencing international perceptions of India's financial health
and contributing to global economic discussions. Moreover, the insights
gained from this research can inform improvements in regulatory
frameworks, enhancing the stability and resilience of the financial
system. Ultimately, the study serves as a valuable educational resource,
providing students, researchers, and professionals with a nuanced
understanding of the complexities inherent in central banking and its
implications for economic stability.

The study's importance extends to its potential impact on global

economic implications. Understanding how the RBI's policies contribute
to or mitigate global economic challenges positions India within the
broader international financial landscape. This knowledge is particularly
crucial in an interconnected world where economic developments in one
region can have far-reaching consequences.

 CHAPTER 2 : Theoretical Background/
Review of Literature

The theoretical background of this study draws from key concepts in monetary economics,
central banking, and financial stability.

Monetary Policy Frameworks:

Central to the theoretical framework is the understanding of different monetary
policy frameworks, such as inflation targeting or money supply targeting. This perspective
helps in evaluating the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) approach to achieving its monetary
policy objectives and maintaining price stability.

Interest Rate Channels:

The study considers the interest rate channels through which the RBI's policies
impact the broader economy. The transmission mechanisms, including the lending and
borrowing rates influenced by the repo and reverse repo rates, form the theoretical
underpinning for assessing how monetary policy decisions affect economic variables.

Financial Stability Theories:

Examining financial stability involves drawing from theories related to financial crises, risk
management, and regulatory frameworks. The theoretical background includes insights into the
factors contributing to financial instability, the role of regulatory measures in enhancing
stability, and crisis management strategies employed by central banks.

Functions of Reserve bank of India
Functions of may be summarized as given below: Banker to Government The Reserve Bank of
India accepts and makes payment on behalf of Central Government. It carries out its exchange,
remittance, management of public debt and other banking function of the Central Government.
The Central Government entrusts its money, remittance, exchange and banking transactions in
India with the Reserve Bank of India. It deals in repo or reverse repo. Right to Issue Bank note
The Reserve Bank of India has the sole right to issue bank notes in India. The bank notes are
legal tender guaranteed by the Central Government. The issue of bank note is conducted by a
separate department called issue department. The Central Government on the recommendation
of Central Board specifies denomination of bank notes including discontinuance of bank notes.

Government approves design, form and material of Bank notes on consideration of

recommendations of the Central Board. Formulates Banking policy The Reserve is empowered
to formulate banking policy in the interest of the public or depositors banking policy in rela tion
to advances and provide direction on the purpose of the advances, margins to be maintained in
a secured advances, the maximum amount of advance may be made, the rate of interest, terms
and conditions for advances or guarantees may be given. Licensing Authority The Reserve
Bank of India is empowered to grant license to commence banking business in India, including
the power to cancel a license granted to a banking company. A petition was filed under Article
226 of the Constitution, challenging the constitutional validity of section 22 of the Banking
Companies Act, 1949. Section 22 empowers, Reserve Bank of India to grant license to Banks
and banks which were already in existence on the commencement of the Act have to apply for
license before the expir y of six months from commence. The petitioner contended that the
section 22 of the Banking Regulating Act, 1949 is in restraint of trade and business hence
unconstitutional. The writ was dismissed and the High Court declared section 22 of the
Banking Regulat ing Act, 1949 as constitutionally valid and cherished the role of Reserve Bank
of India in the economic development of the country. The Madras High Court meticulously
said,

Kannada Sangha Pune’s , Kaveri College of Arts, Science and Commerce 13

Banker’s Bank The banks listed in second schedule and non schedule banks shall maintain a
cash reserve ratio with the Reserve bank of India with a view to securing the monetary stabilit y
in the country. It provides loans and advances in foreign currency to scheduled Banks and to
other financial institution. It purchases, sells or discount any bill of exchange or promissory
note or makes a loan or advances to schedule bank.

Regulation and Management of Foreign Exchange

The Reserve Bank of India is empowered to regulate, prohibit, and restrict dealing in foreign
exchange. It issues license to banks and other institution to act as the au

thorized agency in the foreign exchange market

The functions of the Reserve Bank today can be categorised as follows:

 Monetary and Credit policy

 Foreign exchange management

 Currency management

 Banker to banks & Lender of the last resort

 Banker to the Central and State Governments

 Central clearing house of payment and settlement systems

 Performing developmental and promotional functions.

Kannada Sangha Pune’s , Kaveri College of Arts, Science and Commerce 14

RBI works as the monetary authority of India and there by operates the monetary policy.
Reserve Bank of India announces Monetary Policy every year in the Month of April. This
is followed by three quarterly Reviews in July, October and January. But, RBI at its
discretion can announce th e measures at any point of time. The Annual Monetary Policy
is made up of two parts viz. Part A: macroeconomic and monetary developments; Part B:
Actions taken and fresh policy measures. Monetary policy of the RBI deals with almost
all other vital topics such as financial stability, financial markets, interest rates, credit
delivery, regulatory norms, financial inclusion and institutional developments etc.

 QUANTITATIVE INSTRUMENTS: These include two policy rates (Bank Rate

and Repo Rate), two policy ratios (CRR and SLR) and open market operations.

(a) Bank Rate

It relates to the loans offered by RBI to the commercial bank without any collateral
security.

(b) Repo Rate

It relates to loans offered by RBI to the commercial bank not without collateral. The
securities are pledged as security for the loan. Both bank rate and repo rate are the rates at
which commercial banks can borrow money from RBI to tackle the shortage of liquidity.
With the rise in bank rate/ repo rate supply of money by the commercial bank is reduced
and vice-versa.

(c) CRR (Cash Reserve Ratio)

Kannada Sangha Pune’s , Kaveri College of Arts, Science and Commerce 15
 This refers to the proportion of total deposits of the commercial bank which they must
keep as cash reserves with the RBI. Increase in CRR causes a multiple times decrease in
credit creation capacity of commercial banks and vice versa. Following this principle,
the RBI raises CRR to correct inflation and lowers it to
correct deflation. This is a very effective and often use policy instrument of the RBI to
manage the supply of money in the economy.

(d) SLR (Statutory Liquidity Ratio)

It is the ratio of liquid assets which all commercial banks have to keep in the form of
cash, gold and unencumbered approved securities. When SLR is raised credit creation
capacity of banks is reduced and vice-versa.

(e) Open Market Operations

It means that the bank controls the flow of credit through the sale and purchase of
government securities in the open market. By selling the securities, RBI soaks liquidity
(cash) from the economy. And, by buying the securities, the RBI releases liquidity.

Kannada Sangha Pune’s , Kaveri College of Arts, Science and Commerce 16

QUALITATIVE OR SELECTIVE INSTRUMENTS

These instruments focus on increasing or decreasing the flow of credit to the specified
areas of economic activities. Broadly these are placed in three categories, as under:

(a) Margin requirement:

It refers to difference between current value of security offered for loan (called
collateral) and the value of loan granted. Suppose a person mortgages his house
worth Rs.1crores with the bank for a loan of Rs.80 lakh. Margin requirement in this
case would be Rs. 20 lakh. It is lowered when supply of credit is to be increased and
vice-versa.

(b) Rationing of credit:

It refers to fixation of credit quotas for different business activities. The commercial
bank cannot exceed the quota limit while granting loans.

(c) Moral suasion:

Sometimes RBI makes the member banks agree through persuasion or pressure to
follow its directives. The banks are advised to restrict loans during inflation and be
liberal in lending during deflation.

The primary objective of the RBI is to maintain the stability and integrity of the Indian
rupee while fostering a secure and efficient monetary and financial system. It achieves
this through various monetary policy tools, including interest rates, open market
operations, and reserve requirements. Controlling inflation and ensuring price stability are
key aspects of its monetary policy framework.

As the regulatory authority for the banking and financial sector, the RBI formulates and
implements policies to safeguard the interests of depositors, maintain financial stability,
and foster a robust banking infrastructure. It issues licenses to banks, regulates their
operations, and monitors compliance with prudential norms to ensure the soundness of
the banking system.

In addition to its regulatory and monetary functions, the RBI plays a crucial role in
currency management. It issues and regulates the supply of currency notes and coins,
striving to meet the demand for cash while curbing counterfeiting and ensuring the
security of the currency in circulation.

The RBI also functions as the banker to the government, managing the central and state
governments' accounts and facilitating the government's borrowing program through the
issuance of government securities.

Over the years, the RBI has adapted to the evolving economic landscape, embracing
technological advancements in the financial sector. It has been instrumental in promoting
financial inclusion, fostering innovation, and ensuring the resilience of the Indian
financial system in the face of global challenges. In summary, the Reserve Bank of India
stands as a cornerstone in India's economic framework, with a multifaceted role
encompassing monetary policy, financial regulation, and currency management.
