2L.C. Gupta Committee : Preparing a roadmap for the introduction of derivatives trading in India (SEBI)
3Urjit R. Patel Committee : Preparing a roadmap for reforming bank lending to the Housing sector (RBI)

In which of the above rows are all the details correctly matched?

Options

a

2 only

b

2 and 3

c

1, 3 and 4

d

1, 2 and 4

Answer

Explanation

Rows 1, 2, and 4 are correctly matched. The R.N. Malhotra Committee (1994) recommended opening the insurance sector and establishing an independent regulator, which led to the creation of IRDAI. The L.C. Gupta Committee (1998) formulated the regulatory framework for financial derivatives under SEBI. The Y.H. Malegam Committee (2011) established the regulatory guidelines for the microfinance sector under the RBI. Row 3 is incorrectly matched because the Urjit Patel Committee (2014) focused on revising and strengthening the monetary policy framework (introducing inflation targeting), not housing sector lending.
