Dear Readers,

Current affairs is an important component of several competitive exams such as the UPSC Civil Services Examination, SSC CGL, Bank PO & PSU entrance tests, etc. Therefore, understanding the terms/concepts/events that make news is critical for aspirants. We at PaGaLGuY bring you series of articles explaining some of these important concepts/events. Read on to know more about the RBI Act, 1934.

The Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934, is the legislation under which the apex bank was formed. This act and the Banking Companies Act of 1949, provide  a framework for the supervision of commercial banks in India.

Important sections of the RBI Act, 1934

1. The act comprises the definition and classification of scheduled commercial banks in its Second Schedule. This includes nationalised banks, State Bank of India and its associates, Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) and private banks. A few co-operative banks that fulfill certain criteria are included in this list.

2. Section 17 of the act outlines the basic business functions of the RBI- it accepts deposits of and extends advances to the Central and State governments, purchases foreign exchange from banks and sells it to them, provides loans to banks and state financial corporations (SFCs), purchases and sells government securities, purchase and discounts bills of exchange, to deal in derivatives namely, repo or reverse repo, among other functions.

3. Section 18 outlines the RBI's power of direct discounts. RBI has the right to lend loans to banks, purchase or discount bills to regulate credit in the interest of the economy.

4. According to Section 21 of the act, the RBI has to conduct banking affairs of the Central and State governments along with managing public debt.

5. Section 22 states that RBI alone has the right to issue Indian currency notes and coins. Section 24 declares that the maximum denomination of currency should be Rs.10000. As it is important to have the right to decide rules for exchange of damaged and unusable notes, it is guaranteed under Section 28 of this act.

6. Only the RBI or the Central government is vested with the right to issue and accept promissory notes (a financial instrument containing a person's promise to pay a specific sum to another person on a pre-decided date or on demand).

7. Section 42 (I) decrees scheduled banks to maintain an average daily balance (average of balances at the close of business) with the RBI.

Reserve Bank of India (Amendment) Act, 2006

1. Define the expressions, 'derivative', 'repo' and 'reverse repo' in Section 17 which outlines the business of the Bank.

2. Empower the RBI to deal in derivatives, to lend or borrow securities and to undertake repo or reverse repo;

3. Remove the lower floor and upper ceiling of Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) and to provide flexibility to RBI to specify CRR as per amendment to Section 42(1)

4. Remove ambiguity regarding the legal validity of derivatives;

5. Chapter III-D was included to authorise RBI to lay down policy and issue orders to any agency dealing in various kinds of contracts with respect to government securities, money-market instruments, derivatives, etc., and to inspect such agencies.
