उत्तर
- Credit creation (or money creation) is the expansion of derivative deposits. It is a process where a bank uses a part of its customer's deposits to offer loans to other individuals and businesses.
- This results in more money created in an economy. Banks can expand their demand deposits as a multiple of their cash reserves became demand deposits serve as the principal medium of exchange.
Example: Example: Suppose the amount of initial deposit is ₹ 1000 and LRR is 10%. The banks will keep 10%, i.e. ₹ 100 as reserve and lend the remaining ₹ 900 to borrowers. The borrowers will spend this money. It is assumed that ₹ 900 comes back to the bank. Bank again keep 10% of ₹ 900, i.e., ₹ 90 reserve and lend ₹ 810. This will further raise the amount of deposits with the banks. In this way, deposits go on increasing. The number of times, the total deposits will become, is determined by the money multiplier:
Money Multiplier = `1/"LRR" = 1/0.10 = 10`
The total deposits will be:
Initial deposits × Money Multiplier
= ₹ 1000 × 10
= ₹ 10,000

Explain the concept of ‘inflationary gap’. Also explain the role of ‘legal reserves’ in reducing it.
The ______ creation is called credit creation.
Access to adequate and timely credit at affordable rates is critical for the rural poor to alleviate high cost debt and invest in livelihood opportunities. Despite the Government of India's best efforts, financial inclusion of the rural poor has been beset with multiple challenges. Lack of adequate banking infrastructure and human resources in rural areas, unplanned expansion leading to unviable bank branches and low levels of financial literacy amongst the rural populace have been some of the key challenges.
The most vulnerable communities, who often had no formal credit history or ability to provide collateral, have often been the worst affected. Inability to access loans from banks meant that the poorest had to resort to moneylenders for loans at unreasonably high rates of interest that invariably led them into a toxic debt trap.
In this context, the SHG-Bank Linkage programme, formalised by the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) in 1995, synthesizes 'formal financial systems' (in terms of a formal institution providing credit) with the 'informal sector' (comprising of rural poor with no formal credit history), has emerged as a preferred vehicle for providing financial services to the hitherto unbanked poor.
Community Based Repayment Mechanisms (CBRMs) have been institutionalised at branches involved in financing SHGs to monitor and ensure timely repayment of loans by SHGs. The number of SHGs with outstanding bank loans stands at nearly 5 million today, implying that the program has brought formal banking services to over 50 million women.
