b) (iii) & (iv) only

c) (i) & (iii) only

d) All of the above

Answer: (a)

Advance tax payment means paying a part of the yearly taxes in advance to the government. This reduces liquidity in the economy because the money moves from public to government. (the logic is money with the government is not part of the money supply in the economy)

In the case of GST, the government credits/gives back the taxes paid on inputs, to the suppliers which increase liquidity in the economy. Front loading of government expenditure means the government is spending its yearly targeted expenditure in the starting months rather than in the year-end. This increases liquidity in the economy.

Recapitalization of public sector banks means the government is putting money in public sector banks which increases the lending capacity of the banks resulting in an increase in money supply and liquidity.
