    In October 1947 there was fighting in Kashmir, when India refused to give us the amount of Rs.55 crore if we did not give up all interest in Kashmir, which we refused. In response, Reserve Bank of India refused to make even an advance for ways and means. Despite that India had to pay our 50 crore, (the remaining 5 crore still remains unpaid). There was a controversy on establishment of our central bank because we had no experience or expertise but it was resolved and SBP was created, 3 months ahead of schedule, on July 1, 1948, which was the last public appearance of the Quaid-e-Azam.

    This paper tries to explain the structure of monetary policies in India. Earlier shadowed by fiscal policies, monetary policies have evolved through many stages to gain significant influence over the economy. A major role was played by 1991 transformations which resulted into market forces showing great impact on the economy. A dire need was seen by RBI to make changes in the existing structure of policies. Some changes were followed in 1997-98 and 2004. Introduction of MSS (Market Stabilization Scheme) and FRBM (Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management), Act allowed monetary policies to gain more autonomy and separation from the fiscal policies. Also, this report makes an effort to examine the transmission mechanism of monetary policy in India. The results lead to the conclusion that the lending rate initially increases in response to a monetary tightening. Bank lending channel play an important role in transmission of monetary policy shocks to the real sector.…

    When inflation spikes, the single focus of the government becomes controlling inflation. This is not how mature market economies work. In all mature market economies, the task of controlling inflation - and only the task of controlling inflation - is placed with the central bank. In India, the onus to control the situation of inflation is upon the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the banking Industry. Our paper aim is to present the role that the RBI and the banking Industry plays in controlling the Inflation, the measures adopted in overcoming the negative effects of Inflation, the mechanisms and the policies through which the Central Bank seeks to control the amount of credit flowing in the market, whether these mechanisms used by the RBI has passed its prime and thus now the RBI needs to take up a holistic approach to the same. We would then deal very briefly with the suggestions that may shed some light on what could be the possible steps RBI and the banking industry could take to control rising prices. We find that the practice adopted by the Central bank right now seems to be an ostrich approach. We understand it clearly that the reason that we have inflation is because the economic status and mindsets of the people of India are advancing. Indian consumer is no longer afraid to spend tomorrow’s money today. The average Indian consumer has reached a comfortable economic position where he now starts to demand products and services which were earlier not available to him. This is an indicator of an improved standard of living.But this should not be considered as a disadvantage. The problem here is that the country’s infrastructure is not capable of meeting these requirements. But, instead of giving any attention to the supply factors, by simply lowering money and credit in the market, the RBI is artificially pushing demand down. It is stifling the needs and requirements of the consumers and is…
