Money and Banking is one of the most frequently tested UGC NET units because it connects

Functions of Money
Money acts as a medium of exchange, unit of account, store of value, and standard of deferred
payments.

Classical Theory of Money Demand


Classical economists viewed money mainly as a medium of exchange held for transaction
purposes.

Keynesian Liquidity Preference Theory


Keynes argued that people hold money for transaction, precautionary, and speculative motives.

Friedman's Modern Quantity Theory


Friedman treated money demand as a stable function of wealth and returns on assets.

Commercial Banks
Commercial banks accept deposits and provide loans, creating credit in the process.

Credit Creation
Banks create credit through fractional reserve banking. Initial deposits generate multiple rounds of
lending.

Money Multiplier
Money multiplier equals reciprocal of reserve ratio in the simplest model.

Reserve Bank of India


RBI regulates currency issue, banking supervision, monetary policy, and financial stability.

Monetary Policy Instruments


Repo rate, reverse repo, CRR, SLR, and open market operations are major policy tools.

Monetary Transmission
Policy changes influence interest rates, credit conditions, investment, and aggregate demand.

Financial Markets
Money markets handle short-term funds while capital markets deal with long-term finance.
Financial Inclusion
