RBI may, with the previous approval of the Central Government, specify.
68.
Ans. a
Sol. e-IA stands for e-Insurance Account or "electronic insurance account",
which maintains the insurance policy documents of policyholders in
electronic format. This e-insurance account facilitates the policyholders by
providing access to the insurance portfolio at a click of a button through
Internet.
69.
Ans. a
Sol. The LIC Act, 1956
In 1956, the management of the life insurance business of all the insurers
and provident societies, then operating in India, was taken over by the
Government Jobs
Central Government and these businesses were nationalised. LIC was

formed in September, 1956 with a capital contribution of Rs. 5 crores from
the Government of India. The Life Insurance Corporation Act, 1956 was
passed by the Parliament. The objectives of LIC were to conduct the
business with utmost economy, in a spirit of trusteeship, to charge
premium not higher than warranted by strict actuarial considerations to
invest the funds for obtaining maximum yield for the policyholders
consistent with safety of the capital.
70.
Ans. b
Sol. The LIC Act laid the basis for creating LIC of India, out of the several
insurance companies which existed prior to nationalisation. LIC of India
was vested with exclusive privilege to transact life insurance business in
India. This has been done away with, as a result of amendments made in
1999.
Section 37 of the Act also provides Central Government guarantees for
sums assured and bonuses declared under LIC policies. This does not apply
to ULIP policies.
71.
Ans. b
Sol. For more effective supervision, RBI has adopted a regime of Risk Based
Supervision (RBS), under which, a robust off-site surveillance system has
been introduced, to assess the extent of various types of risks a bank is
exposed to, from analysis of host of supervisory data pertaining to a bank's
activities. The on-site visit by the RBI's Senior Supervisory Manager (SSM)
in charge of the bank, is used for examining high risk areas detected, and
for broadly validating the data provided by the bank,
72.
Ans. d
Sol. Marginal Standing Facility (MSF)/ Standing Deposit Facility (SDF): MSF
was instituted, under which, scheduled commercial banks can borrow (if
necessary, even by dipping into their SLR portfolios) on overnight basis, at
their discretion up to 2% of their respective NDTLs, at 100 basis points (i.e.,
1%) above the policy repo rate, under the Liquidity Adjustment Facility,
against approved government securities, in order to provide a safety valve,
against unanticipated liquidity shocks.

73.
Ans. d
Sol. Under EASE 5.0, PSBs would continue to invest in new-age capabilities
and deepen the ongoing reforms to respond to evolving customer needs,
changing competition and the technology environment. EASE 5.0 would
focus on digital customer experience and integrated & inclusive banking,
with emphasis on supporting small businesses and agriculture.
Simultaneously, all PSBs will also create a bank-specific 3-year strategic
roadmap across diverse themes - business growth, profitability, risk,
customer service, operations, and capability building.
74.
Ans. a
Sol. Textile Mills is not a sector included in infrastructure. Infrastructure
typically refers to the basic physical and organizational structures and
facilities needed for the operation of a society or enterprise, including
things like roads, bridges, airports, seaports, water and sanitation systems,
energy infrastructure, communication networks, and transportation
systems, among others. Textile Mills, on the other hand, are part of the
manufacturing sector.
75.
Ans. d
Sol. NaBFID will be governed by a Board of Directors. The members of the
Board include: (i) the Chairperson appointed by the central government, in
consultation with RBI, (ii) a Managing Director, (iii) up to three Deputy
Managing Directors, (iv) two directors nominated by the central
government, (v) up to three directors elected by shareholders, and (vi) a
few independent directors (as specified). A body constituted by the central
government will recommend candidates for the post of the Managing
Director and Deputy Managing Directors. The Board will appoint
independent directors, based on the recommendation of an internal
committee. In October 2021, banking veteran Shri K V Kamath has been
designated as the first Chairperson of NaBFID.
76.
Ans. d
Government Jobs
Sol. There are a number of factors which determine the levels of price
discovery. These include:
- Supply and demand
- Attitudes to risk
- Volatility
- Available information
- Market mechanisms
77.
Ans. c
Sol. The correct Answer is (c). When the government imposes a price
ceiling on rental rates, landlords may have less incentive to rent out
apartments as they will not be able to earn as much income as they would
without the price ceiling. This means that the supply of apartments will
decrease, which can lead to a shortage of rental housing in the city.
78.
Ans. b
Sol. The correct Answer is B) Equilibrium price. Equilibrium price is the
price at which the quantity demanded of a good or service equals the
quantity supplied. When the market is flooded with wheat, the supply of
wheat increases and the demand for wheat remains the same, resulting in a
surplus. This leads to a decrease in the price of wheat until it reaches a level
where the quantity supplied equals the quantity demanded, which is the
equilibrium price. Riya is worried about the price she will get for her
surplus wheat because the current price is likely to be lower than the
equilibrium price.
79.
Ans. c
Sol. The LTRO was introduced by RBI in February 2020, with the following
dual objectives:
- To encourage banks to undertake maturity transformation smoothly and
seamlessly, so as to augment credit flows to productive sectors, and,
- To assure banks about the availability of durable liquidity, at reasonable
cost, relative to prevailing market conditions.
80.
Government Jobs
Ans. b
Sol. The minimum net worth required for a corporate to issue a certificate
of deposit (CD) is (b) Rs 4 crores. CDs are short-term debt instruments
issued by banks, financial institutions, and corporations to raise funds from
the money market. As per the guidelines of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI),
corporate entities can issue CDs subject to certain conditions, including a
minimum net worth requirement. As per the current RBI guidelines,
corporates issuing CDs must have a minimum net worth of Rs 4 crores as
per the latest audited balance sheet. Additionally, they must also have been
sanctioned working capital limit by banks or financial institutions. The
minimum amount for a CD issue is Rs 1 lakh, and the tenure of CDs can
range from 7 days to 1 year.
81.
Ans. a
Sol. Pay-in Day and Pay-out Day: Pay-in day is the day when the brokers
make payments or delivery of securities to the exchange. Pay-out day is the
day when the exchange makes payment or delivery of securities to the
broker. Settlement cycle is on a T+2 rolling settlement basis, with effect
from April 1, 2003. The exchanges have to ensure that the pay-out of funds
and securities to the clients is done by the broker, within twenty-four hours
of the pay-out. The exchanges will have to issue a press release
immediately after the pay-out.
82.
Ans. c
Sol. A broker is a member of a recognised stock exchange, who is permitted
to do trading on the screen-based trading system of different stock
exchanges. The broker is enrolled as a member with the concerned
exchange and is registered with SEBI. A sub-broker is affiliated to a
member of a recognised stock exchange and is a person who is registered
with SEBI.
83.
Ans. b
Sol. The correct Answer is B) Setting the price of the shares. Setting the
price of the shares is the responsibility of the company's management and
underwriters. A merchant banker's role in an IPO process includes
preparing the prospectus, marketing the shares to potential investors,
Government Jobs
ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, and managing the

book-building process. A prospectus is a detailed document that provides
information about the company, the purpose of the IPO, and the terms of
the offering. The merchant banker is responsible for drafting the
prospectus and ensuring that it complies with regulatory requirements.
The merchant banker is also responsible for marketing the shares to
potential investors. This includes conducting roadshows, investor
presentations, and other marketing activities. The merchant banker is
responsible for ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements
throughout the IPO process. This includes compliance with the Securities
and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) guidelines and other legal and
regulatory requirements. Finally, the merchant banker is responsible for
managing the book-building process. This involves collecting and
aggregating bids from potential investors and setting the final offer price.
84.
Ans. c
Sol. Government Securities will be issued for a minimum amount of Rs,
10,000 (Face Value) and in multiples of Rs. 10,000 thereafter.
85.
Ans. b
Sol. Monetization is the process of converting any asset into cash. In the
case of ABC Bank, monetizing its portfolio of government securities can
help the bank generate additional revenue. By selling the securities, the
bank can realize cash that can be used to lend to customers, invest in new
products or services, or pay off debts. Therefore, option (b) is the correct
Answer
86.
Ans. c
Sol. Sections 10 and 12 - These provisions deal with duties and liabilities of
the authorised persons. Authorised person has been defined in Section2(c)
of the Act, which means an authorised dealer, money changer, offshore
banking unit or any other person for the time being authorised to deal in
foreign exchange or foreign securities.
87.
Ans. d
Government Jobs
Sol. The practice of issuing DRs later spread to the UK and other European
Countries. Such Depository Receipts have been called as Global Depository
Receipts (GDRs) distinguishing them from the ADRs. In more recent years,
several other countries have also introduced DRs like China, India, Hong
Kong, etc. The GDRs are commonly listed on European stock exchanges
such as the London Stock Exchange. GDRs may be denominated in US
dollars, Euros, or any European currency. GDRs issued in other countries
are typically denominated in the currency of that country.
88.
Ans. a
Sol. The DR functions as a means to increase the global equity trade, which
in turn, can help increase not only volumes on local and foreign markets
but also the exchange of information, technology, regulatory procedures as
well as market transparency. Thus, instead of being faced with
impediments to foreign investment, as is often the case in many emerging
markets, the DR investor and company can both benefit from investment
abroad.
89.
Ans. d
Sol. An issue of ADR/GDR by a company in an overseas market gives people
the opportunity to add the benefits of foreign investment, while bypassing
the unnecessary risks of investing outside their own borders, by adding
these securities to their portfolio. As with any security, however, investing
in ADRs requires an understanding of why they are used and how they are
issued and traded.
90.
Ans. d
Sol. The members of the ACU are Bangladesh, Bhutan. India, Iran, Maldives,
Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
The important reasons for the formation of a clearing union are:
i) Exports and imports among members can expand relatively faster
because of conservation of foreign exchange in intra-group transactions, at
least until the settlement date.
ii) Trade liberalisation can be promoted initially among the members.
Government Jobs
iii) Exploitation of scale economies would be made possible by enlarged

trade.
iv) An adjustment process can be promoted that would raise the
international competitiveness of the members which have similar
distortions in trade and production.
v) Measures and surveillance by the union can help to secure a more
balanced current account which in turn, contributes to the creation of
conditions for the future convertibility of each of the currencies of member
countries.
vi) Ground can be prepared for regional economic co-operation in general
and for monetary and financial co-operation in particular.
91.
Ans. a
Sol. Integrated treasury is a holistic approach to funding the balance sheet
and deployment of funds across the domestic as well as global money and
forex markets. This approach enables the bank to optimise its asset-liability
management and also capitalise on arbitrage opportunities.
92.
Ans. c
Sol. In terms of SEBI guidelines, the Company issuing the shares to public
shall make arrangements for the use of proceeds of the issue to be
monitored by one of the financial institutions, in case of issues, which
exceed Rs. 500 crores. Though, in terms of SEBI guidelines, it is mandatory
for the issuers to appoint 'Monitoring Agency', if the issue size is more than
Rs. 500 crores, at the insistence of Merchant Bankers and Stock Exchanges,
the issuers of issues of less than Rs. 500 crores are also appointing
Monitoring Agency.
93.
Ans. d
Sol. Option d) is not a true statement. Merchant banks primarily assist in
raising both equity and debt capital for their clients. They offer a range of
services related to securities and finance, including underwriting, issue
management, loan syndication, advisory services, mergers and acquisitions,
and more.
Regarding the other options:
Government Jobs
a) Merchant Banks are regulated by RBI: This is partially true. While the
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) regulates certain aspects of merchant banking,
such as monitoring capital adequacy requirements and ensuring
compliance with anti-money laundering regulations, the Securities and
Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is the primary regulator of merchant
banking activities in India.
b) Merchant Banks are regulated by SEBI: This is true. The SEBI is the
primary regulator of merchant banking activities in India.
c) Merchant Bankers mainly undertake fee-based business: This is
generally true. Merchant bankers earn their income through fee-based
services and do not typically engage in trading or investment activities for
their own account.
94.
Ans. a
Sol. The strike price is the specified price at which the underlying asset can
be bought or sold if the option is exercised, and it is determined at the time
the option is purchased.
95.
Ans. a
Sol. Open interest is the total number of options contracts outstanding in
the market at any given point in time, which includes both buyers and
sellers of options.
96.
Ans. a
Sol. The value of the futures contract to LMN Corporation can be calculated
by comparing the current market price to the contracted price. Since the
current market price is more favorable for LMN, it means that the value of
the futures contract is positive. The difference between the contracted
price and the current market price is $10 per barrel, and the notional
amount is 1,000 barrels. Therefore, the value of the futures contract to LMN
Corporation is (a) $10,000 gain.
97.
Ans. a
Government Jobs
Sol. Futures contracts are standardized contracts to buy or sell an asset at a

predetermined price and date. In this case, the trader enters into a long
position on a futures contract on gold, which means that the trader agrees
to buy gold at a price of $1,500 per ounce in the future. If the gold price
increases to $1,600 per ounce before expiration, the trader can sell the
contract for a profit of $100 per ounce, or $10,000 in total (100 ounces x
$100 per ounce).
98.
Ans. d
Sol. 'Forfeit' is derived from the French word 'forfeit', which means
surrendering of rights. All forfaiting transactions have a minimum
transaction size, normally in the range of USD 250,000. In terms of RBI
guidelines, Exim Bank and AD Category - I Banks (on Non-recourse basis
only) are permitted to handle forfaiting transactions.
99.
Ans. d
Sol. The entity operating TReDS should have sound technological basis, to
support its operations and as such it should, at the minimum, fulfil the
following technological requirements.
- It shall be able to provide electronic platform for all the participants.
- Information about bills/ invoices, discounting and quotes shall be
disseminated by it in real time basis, supported by a robust MIS system.
- It shall have a suitable Business Continuity Plan (BCP), including a
disaster recovery site.
- It shall have an online surveillance capability which monitors positions,
prices and volumes in real time so as to check system manipulation.
100.
Ans. a
Sol. Option (a) is the correct Answer Deal origination is the process of
identifying potential targets for mergers and acquisitions. This involves
conducting market research, analysing industry trends, and identifying
companies that are a good fit for the acquirer's strategic objectives. Deal
origination can be done through a variety of methods, including
networking, cold calling, and using data analytics tools. Once potential
targets have been identified, the acquirer will typically conduct due
Government Jobs
diligence to assess the target's financial and operational performance,

negotiate the terms of the deal, and execute the transaction. Integration of
the acquired company into the acquirer's operations typically occurs after
the deal has been completed. Deal origination is a critical step in the M&A
process, as it sets the stage for the entire transaction and can have a
significant impact on the ultimate success or failure of the deal.
