Solution

  • The Reserve Bank of India supervises the functioning of formal sources of loans.
  • The banks maintain a minimum cash balance out of the deposits they receive. The RBI monitors that the banks actually maintain the cash balance.
  • Similarly the RBI sees that the banks give loans not just to profit-making businesses and traders but also to small cultivators, small scale industries, to small borrowers etc.
  • Periodically, banks have to submit information to the RBI on how much they are lending, to whom, at what interest rate, etc.
​​This is necessary to prevent the exploitation of the debtors or any kind of mismanagement by the banks.
