Solution
The correct option is B Rs. 500 In India, where most people are able to save lesser amount of money every month, none of them wants to get penalised for not maintaining a defined amount of minimum balance in his/her account by their respective banks.
People prefer to have low or no restrictions on them, be it financial or any other.
Most banks ask account holders to retain a certain amount of money in their account.
If people fail to maintain this minimum balance, some fine is imposed on them and the bank deducts that amount from their account.
