Answer: (d)

RBI lends to banks @repo rate but only up to 0.25% of banks NDTL. RBI further lends from time to time above the repo rate up to 0.75% of the overall NDTL in the system. And in this case, the interest rate is decided by auction

i.e. if more banks want money, the interest rate will go higher, if fewer banks are competing for RBI money then the interest rate will be less but it will always be above the repo rate (actually RBI puts a condition that all the bids at or below the repo rate will be rejected).

This is called "term repo" which means RBI gives money for a fixed long term. Term Repo is also called Variable Term Repo Operations.

b) determination of rate of exchange between rupee and foreign currencies freely by the market forces of demand and supply

c) purchase of foreign exchange for rupees freely

d) payment for imports in terms of ruppes

Answer: (b)

The full convertibility of the Indian currency means that the rupee would be made freely exchangeable into other currencies and vice versa. The rupee was made partially convertible in 1994.

Presently, the issue of capital account convertibility is in the discussion stage.
