Regulatory Thresholds and Caps in India

Options (C) and (D) are not phrased correctly. 'Between' is always followed by 'and' and 'from' is followed by 'to', hence option (E) is correct.

Correct option is (4).

Correct answer is (3). 

The new rules allow the Union Finance Minister to clear proposals up to Rs 1,200 crore foreign equity without seeking an approval of the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA). The department of industry policy and promotion (DIPP) has notified the changes in the foreign direct investment rules on March 26, 2010. Earlier, such proposals above Rs 600 crore were referred to the Cabinet Committee of Economic Affairs. The CCEA would now consider cases of foreign equity above Rs 1,200 crore.

This question references specific SBI deposit rates from a particular period. SBI offered 10% interest on 1,000-day term deposits as part of a special promotional rate structure that was later discontinued. The 1,001 and 2,001-day options are unlikely to be correct as banks typically use round numbers like 1,000 days.

Rs. 2.25 lakh crore was the correct target for agriculture lending by banks in 2007-08. This target was set by the Reserve Bank of India to ensure adequate credit flow to farmers. The other options are close but incorrect - 2 lakh crore was too low and 2.5 or 3 lakh crore were too high.

In the Union Budget 2006-07, the Indian government announced that short-term crop loans up to Rs 3 lakh would be provided to farmers at a concessional interest rate of 7% per annum. This was a major step to provide relief to the agricultural sector.

For Central Departments as of 2006, there is a fee of Rs.10 for filing the request, Rs.2 per page of information and Rs.5 for each hour of inspection after the first hour, if the applicant is a Below Poverty Card holder then no fee shall apply. Such BPL card holders have to provide a copy of their BPL card along with their application to the Public Authority.

The State Bank of India (Amendment) Bill was introduced to increase the authorized capital of SBI from Rs. 20 crore to Rs. 5000 crore. This massive increase allowed the bank to raise more capital from the market to meet Basel II norms and support its expansion. It also facilitated the government's transfer of its stake from the RBI to itself.

In December 2008, as part of a stimulus package, Indian Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) banks capped interest rates for new home loans. Loans between 5 lakh and 20 lakh rupees were set at a maximum of 9.25 percent for the initial five year period.

Statement B is incorrect because the insurance benefit requirement is generally linked to usage within 90 days, not 60. Statement D is incorrect because RuPay was introduced by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), not the National Pension Corporation.

The government increased the FDI limit for Public Sector Undertakings (PSU) refineries to 49% to encourage investment.

The credit-deposit ratio of SBI in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands was reported as 36 percent during the relevant period.

As long as the course or the institute can fulfill their promise, it is not so important how long they have been in operation. This is not ignoring the fact that it could be useful otherwise to corroborate the reputation of the institution.
