Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

In the Indian economy, the M1 (Narrow Money) definition of money supply includes the most liquid assets. The components are:

  • Currency with the public: Notes and coins held by the people (Item 2).
  • Demand deposits: Balances in bank accounts (current and savings) that can be withdrawn on demand (Item 4).
  • 'Other' deposits with the RBI: Deposits held by quasi-government institutions, foreign central banks, etc.

Why other items are excluded:

  • Reserves (Item 1): Bank reserves held with the RBI are part of M0 (Reserve Money), not M1.
  • Time deposits (Item 3): Fixed deposits with a maturity period are part of M3 (Broad Money), as they are not as liquid as cash or demand deposits.

Therefore, only items 2 and 4 are correct.
