Solution

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is India's central banking institution, which controls the issuance and supply of the Indian rupee. It was established on April 1, 1935, in accordance with the provisions of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934. The central office of the RBI was initially established in Kolkata but was permanently moved to Mumbai in 1937.

The RBI plays a pivotal role in the development strategy of the Government of India. It is a member bank of the Asian Clearing Union. The general superintendence and direction of the RBI are entrusted with the 21-member central board of directors: the governor, four deputy governors, two finance ministry representatives, ten government-nominated directors to represent important elements of India's economy, and four directors to represent local boards headquartered at Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai and New Delhi.

The RBI carries out India's monetary policy and exercises supervision and control over banks and non-banking finance companies in India. It manages the country's money supply and foreign exchange and also serves as a bank to the Government of India and the country's commercial banks.
