Solution

The correct option is D Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation:

  • Statement 1 is incorrect: India has had many developmental finance institutions in the past. India had set up DFIs such as Industrial Finance Corporation of India (IFCI) in 1948, Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI) in 1964. Due to the rise of bad loans, the Narasimham Committee-II had suggested that these institutions should either convert themselves into banks or non-banking financial companies (NBFCs).
  • Statement 2 is incorrect: Any person who intends to set up a development financial institution shall make an application to the Reserve Bank for licence. The Reserve Bank in consultation with the Central Government will grant licence subject to such criteria, terms and conditions as may be specified by the Reserve Bank by regulations.
