d) (i), (ii) & (iv) only

Answer: (b)

The rupee-dollar rate is discovered in the forex market. When importers buy dollars in the foreign exchange market, the rupee depreciates as the demand for dollars increases in the forex market.

But if they directly deal with RBI (and take dollars from RBI) and don’t go into the forex market then it may not impact the rupee-dollar rate.

When RBI increases the repo rate, the interest rate in the market increases which may attract foreign investors in debt instruments resulting in rupee appreciation.

Section 45 of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934, provides for the appointment of scheduled commercial banks as agents at all places or at any place in India.

A network comprising the Government Banking Division of RBI and branches of agency banks appointed under Section 45 of the RBI Act carry out the government transactions.

At present all the public sector banks and select private sector banks act as RBI's agents. Only designated branches of agency banks can conduct government banking business.
