Question : 1

Which of the following is the largest holder of Government securities?

a) Cooperative Banks

b) Reserve Bank of India

c) Commercial banks

d) Insurance companies

Answer: (c)

As commercial banks are required to keep SLR (cash, gold, government securities) of 18.25%, they keep the maximum per cent of government securities. Out of cash, gold and government securities, the government securities give the best returns (interest), so they prefer this instrument.

Cooperative banks also keep government securities under SLR but since cooperative banks overall share in deposit and lending is around 10 per cent of the Scheduled commercial banks, so commercial banks have the highest share of government securities.
