Answer: (c)

On 6th Feb 2020 monetary policy review meeting, RBI decided to conduct a long term repo operation at a fixed rate of “repo rate” i.e. 5.15% worth Rs. 1 lakh crore (at that time repo rate was 5.15%).

Since it was done at a fixed rate, so the auction was not required but a lot of banks wanted money at the repo rate, so RBI had to do an auction to select the bank which will get money from RBI at the repo rate.

As all banks combined together, during the auction, quoted much more than Rs. 1 lakh crore, so proportionally it was given to banks depending on which bank bid for how much amount during the auction.

LTRO auctions were conducted on the electronic platform called the E-Kuber, the Core Banking Solution (CBS) platform of RBI.
