Question 96: As per the Reserve Bank of India guidelines, what is the maximum combined borrowing limit for Payments Banks and Regional Rural Banks across the Call, Notice, and Term Money markets?
A. 125 percent of their capital funds on a daily average in a reporting fortnight
B. 100 percent of their capital funds on a daily average in a reporting fortnight
C. 2.0 percent of their aggregate deposits as of the previous financial year-end
D. An internal board-approved limit set within the Department of Regulation guidelines
[Answer: B]
[AnswerInfo: The correct answer is 100 percent of their capital funds on a daily average in a reporting fortnight. The combined borrowing limit for Payments Banks and Regional Rural Banks is capped at this 100 percent amount, but they can reach up to 125 percent on any given day. On the other hand, Co-operative Banks have a limit that is capped at 2.0 percent of their total deposits from the end of the previous financial year. Unlike these banks, Scheduled Commercial Banks and Small Finance Banks use internal borrowing limits that are approved by their boards. These internal limits must just stay within the wider rules for bank-to-bank debts set by the Department of Regulation.]
[AnswerTTS: सही जवाब है ✅ ANSWER: OPTION B ऑप्शन बी… यानी 💯 100 PERCENT एक सौ परसेंट. ध्यान दें, 🏦 PAYMENTS BANKS (Financial Inclusion) पेमेंट्स बैंक्स और 🌾 REGIONAL RURAL BANKS (Rural Credit) रीजनल रूरल बैंक्स के लिए, कंबाइंड बॉरोइंग लिमिट को, डेली एवरेज के आधार पर, 💯 100 PERCENT एक सौ परसेंट तक फिक्स किया गया है. हालांकि, किसी एक दिन यह लिमिट, 📈 125 PERCENT एक सौ पच्चीस परसेंट तक जा सकती है. इसका असल कारण यह है कि, रिज़र्व बैंक इन बैंकों को, अपनी लिक्विडिटी मैनेज करने की छूट देता है, ताकि रूरल और डिजिटल पेमेंट्स में, कोई रुकावट न आए. दूसरी तरफ, 🤝 CO-OPERATIVE BANKS (Community Banking) को-ऑपरेटिव बैंक्स के लिए यह लिमिट, पिछले फाइनेंशियल ईयर के अंत के टोटल डिपॉज़िट्स का, सिर्फ 2️⃣ 2.0 PERCENT दो परसेंट है. इन बैंकों के उलट, 🏢 SCHEDULED COMMERCIAL BANKS (Mainstream Banks) शेड्यूल्ड कमर्शियल बैंक्स और 🏦 SMALL FINANCE BANKS (Micro Credit) स्मॉल फाइनेंस बैंक्स, अपनी इंटरनल बॉरोइंग लिमिट्स खुद तय करते हैं, जिन्हें उनका बोर्ड अप्रूव करता है. बस यह ध्यान रखना होता है कि, ये लिमिट्स, 🏛️ DEPARTMENT OF REGULATION (RBI Watchdog) डिपार्टमेंट ऑफ रेगुलेशन के नियमों के, अंदर ही रहें. ]
[table]
| 🏦 Bank Category | 🎯 Core Borrowing Limit | ⏳ Time Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Payments Banks & RRBs | 100% (Up to 125% maximum) | Daily average per fortnight |
| Co-operative Banks | 2.0% of total deposits | From previous financial year-end |
[/table]
[case]
🧠 Real-World Scenario:
Imagine Gramin Rural Bank has ₹100 Crore in capital funds. Suddenly, it is harvest season, and farmers are withdrawing cash rapidly, causing a severe liquidity crunch.
According to the rules, they can borrow up to ₹125 Crore (125%) today to survive the rush. This means flexible daily limits save banks from sudden cash shortages, as long as their overall 14-day average stays at or below ₹100 Crore (100%).

Question 97: As per the Reserve Bank of India guidelines, what is the maximum borrowing limit for a Standalone Primary Dealer in the Term Money market?
A. 400 percent of its Net Owned Fund, which excludes Inter-Corporate Deposits
B. 225 percent of its Net Owned Fund for all money market borrowings
C. 400 percent of its Net Owned Fund, which includes Inter-Corporate Deposits
D. 100 percent of its capital funds on a daily average in a reporting fortnight
[Answer: C]
[AnswerInfo: The correct answer is 400 percent of its Net Owned Fund, which includes Inter-Corporate Deposits. The borrowing limit for a Standalone Primary Dealer is capped at this 400 percent amount for the Term Money market, and it must include borrowings from both term money and Inter-Corporate Deposits together. The Inter-Corporate Deposits part must not break the limits given in the rules from November 28, 2025. For Call and Notice Money, the borrowing limit is capped at 225 percent of the Net Owned Fund, which is figured out as a daily average over a reporting fortnight.]
[AnswerTTS: सही जवाब है ✅ ANSWER: OPTION C ऑप्शन सी… यानी 💰 NET OWNED FUND नेट ओन्ड फंड का 📈 400 PERCENT चार सौ परसेंट. हैरानी की बात है, 🏛️ STANDALONE PRIMARY DEALER (G-Sec Market Makers) स्टैंडअलोन प्राइमरी डीलर्स को, गवर्नमेंट सिक्योरिटीज़ मार्केट में लिक्विडिटी बनाए रखने के लिए, इतनी बड़ी छूट दी जाती है. ⏳ TERM MONEY टर्म मनी मार्केट में, इनकी बॉरोइंग लिमिट 📈 400 PERCENT चार सौ परसेंट है, जिसमें 🏢 INTER-CORPORATE DEPOSITS इंटर कॉर्पोरेट डिपॉज़िट्स भी, शामिल होते हैं. याद रखने वाली बात है, इंटर कॉर्पोरेट डिपॉज़िट्स का हिस्सा, 📅 NOVEMBER 28, 2025 अठाइस नवंबर दो हज़ार पच्चीस के नियमों से, बाहर नहीं होना चाहिए. वहीं दूसरी ओर, 📞 CALL AND NOTICE MONEY कॉल और नोटिस मनी के लिए, यह लिमिट थोड़ी कम, यानी 📈 225 PERCENT दो सौ पच्चीस परसेंट रखी गई है, जिसे एक रिपोर्टिंग फोर्टनाइट में, डेली एवरेज के रूप में कैलकुलेट किया जाता है. ]
[table]
| 🏢 Entity | 🎯 Term Money Limit | 📞 Call/Notice Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Standalone Primary Dealer | 400% of NOF | 225% of NOF |
| Inter-Corporate Deposits | Included in 400% cap | N/A |
[/table]
[case]
🧠 Real-World Scenario:
Imagine Apex G-Sec Dealers has a Net Owned Fund of ₹50 Crore. Suddenly, the government issues a massive new round of bonds, and Apex needs heavy cash to buy them and keep the market active.
According to the rules, they can borrow up to ₹200 Crore (400%) in the Term Money market, including any corporate deposits they take. This means Primary Dealers get massive borrowing power beyond normal banks, simply because their job is critical to keep the government bond market running smoothly.

Question 98: According to the RBI, to which authorized platform operator must market participants convey their internal board-approved borrowing and lending limits?
A. Clearcorp Dealing System Ltd.
B. Clearing Corporation of India Limited
C. National Payments Corporation of India
D. Reserve Bank Information Technology Private Limited
[Answer: A]
[AnswerInfo: The correct answer is Clearcorp Dealing System Ltd. Lending limits for players across the Call, Notice, and Term markets are not hard-coded numbers. Instead, the boards of each company decide these limits while following the rules of the Department of Regulation. Once the board approves these internal limits, they must be sent right away to Clearcorp Dealing System Ltd. so the limits can be set on the NDS-CALL platform. Eligible Non-Banking Financial Companies have a Term Money borrowing limit of 200 percent of their Net Owned Fund from the end of the previous year. All India Financial Institutions also use their own board-approved borrowing limits for Term Money that follow the Department of Regulation rules.]
[AnswerTTS: सही जवाब है ✅ ANSWER: OPTION A ऑप्शन ए… यानी 🏢 CLEARCORP DEALING SYSTEM LTD (CCIL Subsidiary) क्लियरकॉर्प डीलिंग सिस्टम लिमिटेड. 📊 CALL, NOTICE, AND TERM MARKETS कॉल, नोटिस, और टर्म मार्केट्स में, लेंडिंग लिमिट्स पहले से फिक्स नहीं होती हैं. इसके बजाय, हर कंपनी का बोर्ड, 🏛️ DEPARTMENT OF REGULATION (RBI Rules) डिपार्टमेंट ऑफ रेगुलेशन के नियमों को मानकर, अपनी लिमिट्स खुद तय करता है. इसका असल कारण यह है कि, आरबीआई चाहता है कि बैंक, अपनी रिस्क लेने की क्षमता के अनुसार ही काम करें. जब बोर्ड इन इंटरनल लिमिट्स को, अप्रूव कर देता है, तो इन्हें तुरंत क्लियरकॉर्प को भेजना होता है, ताकि 💻 NDS-CALL PLATFORM (Electronic Trading) एन डी एस कॉल प्लेटफॉर्म पर, इन लिमिट्स को सेट किया जा सके. इसके अलावा, एलिजिबल 🏦 NON-BANKING FINANCIAL COMPANIES (NBFCs) नॉन बैंकिंग फाइनेंशियल कंपनीज़ के लिए, यह लिमिट, उनके पिछले साल के नेट ओन्ड फंड का, 📈 200 PERCENT दो सौ परसेंट होती है. 🏢 ALL INDIA FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS (AIFI) ऑल इंडिया फाइनेंशियल इंस्टीट्यूशंस भी, टर्म मनी के लिए, अपनी खुद की बोर्ड अप्रूव्ड लिमिट्स इस्तेमाल करते हैं. ]

|---|---|---|
| Commercial Banks & AIFIs | Internal Board | Clearcorp (NDS-CALL) |
| Eligible NBFCs | 200% of NOF limit | Clearcorp (NDS-CALL) |
[/table]
[case]
🧠 Real-World Scenario:
Imagine City Commercial Bank wants to borrow money to meet massive year-end demands from corporate clients. Suddenly, the management realizes they do not have a fixed percentage limit forced on them by the RBI like rural banks do.
According to the rules, the bank’s Internal Board must vote to set their own safe boundary (e.g., ₹500 Crore). This means risk is managed locally by the bank, but they must immediately report this number to Clearcorp, so the software locks their trades if they try to borrow ₹501 Crore.

Question 99: What are the official daily market operating hours for completing transactions in the Call, Notice, and Term Money Markets?
A. 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM on each business day
B. 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM on each business day
C. 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on each business day
D. 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM on each business day
[Answer: D]
[AnswerInfo: The correct answer is 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM on each business day. During these times, eligible participants are given complete freedom to decide the interest rates they want to use. All trades must be done in Over-the-Counter markets, which include the NDS-CALL platform or any other electronic trading platform approved by the Reserve Bank of India. Also, the standard market practices, methods, and paperwork rules are created by the Fixed Income Money Market and Derivatives Association of India working together with the Reserve Bank.]
[AnswerTTS: सही जवाब है ✅ ANSWER: OPTION D ऑप्शन डी… यानी हर बिज़नेस डे पर, ⏳ 9:00 AM TO 7:00 PM सुबह नौ बजे से शाम सात बजे तक. हाल ही में, मार्केट टाइमिंग्स को एक्सटेंड करने से, बैंकों को अपने कैश रिज़र्व रेशियो या सी आर आर को, दिन के अंत तक मैनेज करने में, बहुत आसानी होती है. इस समय के दौरान, एलिजिबल पार्टिसिपेंट्स को, अपने इंट्रेस्ट रेट्स खुद तय करने की, पूरी आज़ादी मिलती है. ध्यान दें, सभी ट्रेड्स 🤝 OVER-THE-COUNTER MARKETS (OTC) ओवर द काउंटर मार्केट्स में ही होने चाहिए, जिसमें 💻 NDS-CALL PLATFORM (Electronic Trading) एन डी एस कॉल प्लेटफॉर्म, या 🏦 RESERVE BANK OF INDIA (Central Bank) रिज़र्व बैंक ऑफ इंडिया द्वारा, अप्रूव्ड कोई भी इलेक्ट्रॉनिक ट्रेडिंग प्लेटफॉर्म शामिल है. इसके साथ ही, स्टैण्डर्ड मार्केट प्रैक्टिसेस और पेपरवर्क के नियम, 🏛️ FIMMDA (Market Practices) फिमडा द्वारा, रिज़र्व बैंक के साथ मिलकर तैयार किए जाते हैं. ]

[case]
🧠 Real-World Scenario:
Imagine Metro Finance Bank finishes checking their accounts at 5:30 PM. Suddenly, they realize they are short on cash and will fail their mandatory daily Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) check.
According to the rules, because the market stays open until 7:00 PM, Metro Finance can still log into the NDS-CALL platform at 6:00 PM to borrow funds. This means extended hours stop late-day panic and give banks enough breathing room to fix their cash balances calmly.

Question 100: Under the Reserve Bank of India rules, what is the mandatory minimum lock-in period required before a Term Money transaction can be terminated early?
A. 21 days from the date of the transaction
B. 14 days from the date of the transaction
C. 7 days from the date of the transaction
D. 30 days from the date of the transaction
[Answer: B]
[AnswerInfo: The correct answer is 14 days from the date of the transaction. The normal rule is that Call, Notice, or Term Money trades should not be canceled early. However, early cancellation is allowed for Notice and Term Money if both sides agree on a price. For Term Money trades, this early cancellation can only happen after the minimum lock-in period of 14 days has passed.]
[AnswerTTS: सही जवाब है ✅ ANSWER: OPTION B ऑप्शन बी… यानी ट्रांजैक्शन की तारीख से, ⏳ 14 DAYS चौदह दिन. नॉर्मल रूल यह है कि, 📊 CALL, NOTICE, OR TERM MONEY कॉल, नोटिस, या टर्म मनी ट्रेड्स को, समय से पहले कैंसिल नहीं किया जाना चाहिए. इसका असल कारण यह है कि, आरबीआई स्ट्रक्चरल लिक्विडिटी में, स्टेबिलिटी बनाए रखना चाहता है, ताकि फंड्स अचानक से न निकाले जाएं. हालांकि, 📉 NOTICE AND TERM MONEY नोटिस और टर्म मनी के लिए, अर्ली कैंसिलेशन की परमिशन है, बशर्ते दोनों पार्टीज़, एक फिक्स्ड प्राइस पर राज़ी हों. याद रखने वाली बात है, टर्म मनी ट्रेड्स में, यह अर्ली कैंसिलेशन केवल तभी हो सकता है, जब 🔒 MINIMUM LOCK-IN PERIOD मिनिमम लॉक इन पीरियड, यानी ⏳ 14 DAYS चौदह दिन पूरे हो चुके हों. ]
[table]
| 📊 Market Type | 🛑 Early Cancellation Rule | 🔒 Lock-in Period |
|---|---|---|
| Term Money | Allowed (If mutual agreement) | 14 Days minimum |
| Call Money | Not Allowed | N/A |
[/table]
[case]
🧠 Real-World Scenario:
Imagine Alpha Bank lends ₹50 Crore to Beta Bank for a 30-day Term Money contract. Suddenly, on Day 5, Alpha Bank faces an emergency and begs Beta Bank to cancel the deal and return the money early.
According to the rules, even if Beta Bank agrees, the computers will block the cancellation because the 14-Day Minimum Lock-in has not passed. This means the RBI protects market stability by trapping the funds for at least two weeks to stop sudden panic withdrawals from ruining another bank’s plans.
