What the Money and Banking PYQ PDF Contains
The question booklet brings 160 earlier board questions and extracted question parts into one chapter resource. Marks refer to source-paper groups; an extracted subpart may carry fewer marks than the full question. Practise definitions separately from explanation and calculation questions. Keep the original marks beside each response when deciding how much detail to write. Older papers may follow a different pattern from your current examination.
| Practice area | Check while answering |
|---|---|
| Money and its functions | Identify the function shown in the situation. |
| Money supply | Distinguish currency with the public from demand deposits. |
| Commercial banks | Explain deposits, lending and credit creation. |
| Central banking | Name the RBI function or policy instrument before explaining its effect. |
Historical question marks do not guarantee chapter weightage in the next board paper. Use your current school syllabus to choose relevant questions.

Money Supply and Credit Creation Practice for Class 12
Money supply includes currency held by the public and demand deposits with banks. For deposit-creation questions, read what the question asks before calculating. Total deposits differ from the extra deposits created after the first deposit. Reserve requirements limit how much banks can lend in the simplified textbook model.
- Initial deposit: write the starting amount and its unit.
- Convert the reserve ratio from a percentage to a decimal.
- State the assumptions behind the textbook deposit multiplier.
- Check whether the answer asks for total deposits or additional credit.
A reserve ratio of 20% means 0.20 in a multiplier calculation. Keep your calculation steps separate, so a percentage error is easier to find. Use the NCERT explanation to check why successive rounds of deposits become smaller.
Money and Banking Central Bank Questions: What to Check
Central bank questions may ask for a function, an instrument or a chain of effects. These need different answers. A name alone cannot replace an explanation when the question asks how the RBI controls credit.
| Question focus | Answer check |
|---|---|
| Banker to the government | Describe banking services provided to the government. |
| Bankers' bank | Explain the central bank's relationship with commercial banks. |
| Lender of last resort | Explain emergency support to banks facing a shortage of funds. |
| Open market operations | State whether the central bank buys or sells securities, then explain the effect. |
Write the direction of the change clearly. A purchase and a sale of securities have opposite effects on banking-system reserves. Avoid treating every RBI function as a monetary policy tool.
How to Use Money and Banking PYQs for Revision
Use the booklet after a short reading of NCERT's Money and Banking chapter. Try answering without the textbook open, then return to the relevant section. This separates terms you remember from ideas you can explain in your own words.
- Read the command word and underline the economic concept.
- Attempt a small group of questions without looking at notes.
- Check definitions, units and the sequence of each explanation.
- Record one correction beside each incomplete answer.
- Repeat the difficult questions after revising the matching NCERT section.
This is a questions-only PDF. It does not provide model answers or a marking scheme. For longer responses, compare your explanation with NCERT and discuss the expected detail with your teacher.
