Answers :

1) Answer: C

Short Explanation:

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has released a draft circular aimed at simplifying the claim settlement process following the death of an account holder.

In cases where the delay is due to the bank, compensation must be paid in the form of interest at a rate of bank rate + 4% per annum on the settlement amount for the delay period.

Detailed Explanation:

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has released a draft circular aimed at simplifying the claim settlement process following the death of an account holder.

The guidelines apply to all commercial and co-operative banks and cover deposit accounts, lockers, and articles in safe custody.

RBI has invited comments by August 27,2025 on the draft.

Banks are required to release funds to nominees or surviving account holders without demanding legal documents such as succession certificates or probate, provided there is no will, court order, or dispute.

Nominees must submit a claim form, death certificate, and valid ID proof to claim the amount.

If banks delay settling deposit-related claims, they must inform claimants of the reasons for the delay.

In cases where the delay is due to the bank, compensation must be paid in the form of interest at a rate of bank rate + 4% per annum on the settlement amount for the delay period.

For delays related to safe deposit lockers or articles in safe custody, banks must pay ₹5,000 per day as compensation.

2) Answer: D

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has issued new directives called the Non-Fund Based (NFB) Credit Facilities Directions, 2025, effective from April 1, 2026.

These guidelines aim to help corporates, SPVs, and municipal bodies raise cheaper funds by improving the credit ratings of corporate bonds through Partial Credit Enhancement (PCE).

Eligibility for PCE has expanded to include non-deposit taking NBFCs with assets of ₹1,000 crore and above, and now covers municipal bonds, which were excluded in earlier drafts.

The maximum credit enhancement limit is increased from 20% to 50% of the bond issue size.

3) Answer: B

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman withdrew the Income Tax Bill, 2025 in the Lok Sabha.

The Bill was initially introduced on February 13, 2025, to replace the existing Income Tax Act, 1961.

The government announced it will introduce an updated version of the Bill incorporating the changes suggested by the Select Committee. This fresh Bill is scheduled to be introduced in the Lok Sabha on August 11, 2025.

The 31-member Select Committee, chaired by BJP MP Baijayant Panda, reviewed the Bill and made several recommendations.

4) Answer: C

Banks must implement an easy procedure for claims on accounts where there is no nomination, or in joint accounts without nominee or survivor clauses, to prevent hardship to claimants or legal heirs.

A threshold limit of ₹15 lakh must be set by banks based on their risk management policies for such claims.

Claims must be settled within 15 days after receiving all required documents.

For locker or articles in safe custody claims, banks must process the claim and notify the claimant within 15 days to schedule the inventory of the locker or articles.

5) Answer: D

Short Explanation:

According to Baijayant Panda, the new Bill will simplify India’s complex tax structure, which has undergone over 4,000 amendments since 1961 and contains more than 5 lakh words.

The Finance Act, 2025, has raised the income threshold for tax rebate under Section 87A from ₹7 lakh to ₹12 lakh, and increased the maximum rebate from ₹25,000 to ₹60,000 under the new tax regime (Section 115 BAC).

Detailed Explanation:

According to Baijayant Panda, the new Bill will simplify India’s complex tax structure, which has undergone over 4,000 amendments since 1961 and contains more than 5 lakh words.

The new legislation reduces the complexity by nearly 50%, making it easier for individual taxpayers and MSMEs to understand and comply.

This simplification will particularly benefit small businesses and MSMEs that often face challenges due to complicated tax laws.

The Bill aims to create a fair and equitable direct tax system that avoids imposing extra tax burdens on the working and middle-class population.

Tax slabs and rates have been revised to benefit all taxpayers, especially the middle class, by reducing their tax liability and increasing their disposable income.

Marginal relief will continue to apply for incomes slightly above ₹12 lakh.

Overall, the new Income Tax Bill is expected to make tax filing easier for common citizens and small businesses, fostering better compliance and reducing litigation.

6) Answer: E

Short Explanation:

An internal RBI working group recommended retaining the overnight weighted average call rate (WACR) as the operating target for monetary policy due to its effectiveness in policy transmission.

Detailed Explanation:

The group suggested discontinuing the 14-day variable rate repo (VRR)/reverse repo (VRRR) auctions as the main liquidity operation.

Instead, liquidity should be managed primarily through 7-day and shorter-tenor repo/reverse repo operations (up to 14 days) at RBI’s discretion.

The liquidity management framework under review has been in place since February 2020.

7) Answer: C

Short Explanation:

The Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) has suspended motor insurance operations of the state-owned Oriental Insurance Company (OIC) in Dubai due to non-compliance with regulatory requirements.

In insurance, “run-off” means the company will manage and settle claims on existing policies but cannot issue new policies.

Detailed Explanation:

OIC has decided to place its Dubai operations in run-off mode; the branch began operations in 1960 and generated a total business of Rs 296 crore in 2024.

CBUAE ensures that all insurers, owners, and staff comply with UAE laws through its supervisory and regulatory mandates.

In insurance, “run-off” means the company will manage and settle claims on existing policies but cannot issue new policies.

OIC informed the CBUAE that its Dubai branch will enter run-off operations from August 7.

8) Answer: B
