- Maximum Denomination according to RBI Act 1934 - Rs 10,000
- Just After Independence's
- During 1940
Currently we don’t have any 10,000 Rs notes in circulations
Bur prior to this RBI has printed 10,000 Rs Notes Twice
After Printing, these high value notes were demonetised
Trust on Note
Reason why people accept notes Signed by Governor
Universal Acceptability by Means of Trust
Like Cigarette in Shawshank Redemption
Non Acceptance of Rs 5 & 10 Coins
Legal Tender
Obligation on Person to compulsorily accept money for settlement of Transactions
You cannot reject the transaction Because its a Legal Tender
There are Two Types of Legal Tenders
- Limited Legal Tender - Prior 2017
- Unlimited Legal Tender - Post 2017
Promise
Difference Between Limited and Unlimited Legal Tender
Theme | Unlimited | Limited |
Acceptance Limit | No Matter How Much I Pay you in Cash, You Must Accept it, You cannot reject cash | There is a limit on acceptance of Bank Notes for settlement of Transactions |
Example | Car of 10 Lac being bought
The entire can be purchased in form of Cash | There will be a limit of Rs 2 Lac for Cash Transactions |
In Action By | Since Independence by Laws | Finance Act 2017 |
Limit | No Limit as Such | Limit of Rs 2 Lac
Remaining 8 Lacs by Other Means |

- Example : US Treasury Bonds
- Bonds are issued by
- Corporates
- Govt

- Asset 10 GM - Rs 3000
- Asset 10 GM - Rs 1500
- Liability 10 GM - Rs 3000
- What will RBI do

- Take Money out of Transaction
1. Minimum Reserve System
Minimum Reserves of Rs 200 Crores
115 Crore Worth - in form of Gold
85 Crore Worth - FCA (Foreign Currency Assets)
2. Over All Asset should be same as their Liability
What is the Concept of Assets and Liability
Assets : Ownership Exists
Liability : Doesn’t Belongs to Me
Ones Liability is Another Mans Asset
What are the Assets for RBI ?
How is Value of Asset like Gold whose cost varies is kept in Sync ?
Gold Value - Increased
Gold Value - Decreased
What is the Liability for RBI ?
Note Pe Likha Hua Waada = RBI ka Promise = RBI ki Liability hai
Can RBI have more Assets than Liability
No It cannot, It has to dynamically match
Currency in Circulations by RBI
30 Lac Crores
Hence Assets worth 30 Lac Crores is with RBI
What Happens When you take Rs 500 to RBI Governor
RBI Has Asset
- Case 1 : Assets worth Rs 500
- Case 2 :
- You Cannot Replace one Promise by Another Promise
- 500 - 100*5
- 100 - 10*10
RBI Has No Asset
This is Guaranteed by Central Government in the form of Coins and Rs 1 Notes
Concept of Seignorage
Defintion
Seignorage is Profit Earned by RBI’s Issue Dept on Account of Printing Notes
Criteria of Printing Notes
- Minimum Reserve System of Rs 200 Crores
- Asset = Liabilities
Concept
- RBI has to not pay Interest to anyone in lieu of its promise on notes which is its Liability
- RBI Earns Profits from its Assets
Average Profit of RBI is Rs 1 Lac Crores
Profit from
Selling of Gold
Interests from FCA and G Sec
- Formula
- Now Net Money = Earning - Expenses
- Expenses = Interests + Printing of Notes Cost
- Seignorage = Earning - (Interests + Printing of Notes Cost)
- According to RBI - This Increases Seignorage
- Introduction of CBDC
- Promotion of Cashless Economy
- According to RBI - This Decreases Seignorage
- Demonetisation
Also think About the Cost, which was used in printing earlier
Also the cost to print new Notes
Mind Map
What Happens to Net Profit (Seignorage) of RBI ?
- Added to Reserves of RBI
- Dividend to Government acc to Sec 47 of RBI Act 1934
Notes
Seignorage is the Net Profit of Issue Department

Is there any limit on Central Government to Print 1 Rs Note
No there is No Limit and There is No Pre Requirement to Print Rs 1 Notes
Mind Map

- State Bank of Sikkim was not under control of RBI until 2019/20
Delegation of Functions
Some of the Function of Accepting & Making Payments is done by Agency Banks
for Ministry of Finance RBI may have chosen State Bank of India
Mind Map
3. Debt Manager of Government
Why does Government has to Borrow in the First Place ?
- Income (Amount of Money Tax) < Expenses (Govt Spending Obligation)
- Income 20 Lac Crore < Expense 37 Lac Crore
- Hence, Govt Needs Money of Difference which is 17 Lac Crores
- The Money we Borrowed == Money Govt earns as Income
Why Doesn’t India Cut down its Expenses ?
- For Welfare of People
- For Infrastructure
- Borrowing is Not a Option for India, Its a Necessity
From Where does Government Borrows (Sources) ?
Outside India
- External Debt From Chapters of Taxation From Chapters of External Sector
- Two Entities Can Borrow Money from Outside India
- Government - Sovereign Debt
- Private Companies
- External Debt of Govt is Managed by Ministry of Finance
RBI does NOT manage India’s External Debt
- Money can be Borrowed from
- IMF, WB, ADB, AIIB
Within India
- Govt can borrow Money from
- RBI
- Domestic Market
- For Safe and Stable Investments
- Share Costs Vary & Fluctuate Severely but G Sec is Stable
- Examples - LIC & Aditya Birla etc
- They Sit on Huge Amount of Cash
- Hence they Invest in G Secs
1. Primary Dealers (Category of Investors)
Who are Primary Dealers
Similar to Corporate Bonds, GoI releases G Secs
These G Secs have Face Value, Maturity Period & RoI
RBI has authorised some dealers to Invest in G Secs called Primary Dealers
Primary Dealers are of Two Types
Bank Primary Dealers
Example
Kotak Securities
ICICI Securities
Standalone Primary Dealers
Why Invest in G Secs
2. Insurance Companies
They Need to Make Money out of this money but at the same time maintain safety of these returns
3. Banks
4. Pension Fund Companies
5. Retail Investors
- RBI Acts as Facilitator for Govt to borrow from Domestic Market (Its Institutions)
How RBI Felicitates this Process
Mind Map Summarised
Retail Direct Scheme
By what power does RBI act as a Debt Manager of Govt
Govt enables RBI to manage its borrowings, Its both a Right and a Obligation
RBI as Debt Manager of Govt in Domestic Market (within India)
For What Purposes Govt Borrows Money ?
To Finance its Deficit This Money is NOT repaid back in the Same Financial Year
Revenue of Govt - 20 LC
Expense of Govt - 37 LC
Deficit = Difference Between Revenue & Expense = 17 LC
To Address Temporary Mismatches in Cash Balances This Money is Repaid Back in the SAME Financial Year
Examples
Revenue/Income - 100
Expense - 150
Deficit - 50
Govt Borrowed & Not Repaid - 50
In What Manner RBI Manages Debt for Govt ?
RBI Lends Loan to Govt Directly

Hence Overdraft is taken
Here ROI = Repo Rate + 2% |
For State
Not Allowed to Borrow from RBI | For State
1. Normal WMA - Same as Centre
2. Overdraft - Same as Centre
3. SDF - Special Drawing Facility - for State Only
State investing in Centre G Secs
Dated Bonds, T Bills, CMB,
This Bond can be used as Collateral to Borrow from RBI
Here, ROI = Repo Rate - 1%
By this Means, RBI forces state to Invest in Central G Secs |

Favourism
Give Licenses to Banks - India and Foreign
Lay Down Qualifications of Board of Directors of Bank
RBI can supersede BOD of Private Banks
Meaning BOD Removed
RBI will appoint its own officials
RBI can undertake merger of Private Banks
Public Sector Banks
- Originally PSU Bank
- By Legislation of Parliament
- SBI by SBI Act
- Turned into PSU Bank by Nationalisation
- By Nationalisation of Bank in
- 1969
- 1980
- Examples
- Bank of Baroda
- PNB
- Central Bank

Regulations of Types of Bank
- Private Banks
- Companies Act
- Banking Regulations Act, 1949 - Only BY RBI
- Public Sector Banks (PSB)
- Original
- SBI Act, 1955 - By Ministry of Finance (Govt)
- Banking Regulations Act, 1949 - By RBI
- Nationalised
- The Banks Own Act - Bank Nationalisation Act, 1970 & 1980
- Banking Regulations Act, 1949
- Note : Some Provisions of Banking Regulations Act, 1949 are NOT applicable to Public Sector Banks
- No License Required from RBI
- RBI cannot lay down Qualification for BOD of PSB
- RBI cannot supersede BOD of PSB
- RBI cannot force merger of PSB
- Hence it can be said that RBI is handicapped in the case of PSB
The Provisions of Exception for Public Sector Banks are
Privatisation of Public Sector Banks
- The Bank Nationalisation Acts of 1970 & 1980 State that Govt ownership should be always greater than 51%
- For Privatisation, The Govt Ownership should be less than 51%
- Hence, for the Banks to be Privatised, the ownership should be less than 51%
- For this to happen the Bank Nationalisation Acts of 1970 & 1980 which are preventing the Govt to reduce its ownership should be change
- This changes can only be brought in by means of by a amendment act as the Law of Nationalisation is by Parliament
Other Entities - NBFC
NBFC - Non Banking Financial Companies
Who are they
- They can accept Deposits
- They can give loans
- They don’t have a license of Bank but a License of NBFC from RBI
Examples of NBFC
- MFI
- Credit Companies
- P2P Lenders
Why do MFI Exist ?
- No Small Value Loans are Given by Banks, Hence NBFC is an option for people wanting low value loans
- Banks are Interested in Large Value Loans
Examples
Bajaj Finance
Mahindra Finance
