BUSINESS FACTS!!!: HOW RBI PRINT MONEY IN INDIA AND HOW ITS DONE(SECTIONS)?

RBI follows some sections to print and supply money in India

The RBI, manages currency in India. The bank's additional responsibilities include regulating the country's credit systems and using monetary policy to establish financial stability in India. The institution is headquartered in Mumbai, India. 

Before 1934, the government of India had the responsibility of printing money . However, RBI was granted its role in currency management on the basis of the Reserve Bank of India Act in 1934. Specifically, Section 22 of the RBI Act gives the bank the authority to issue currency notes. The Reserve Bank of India has printing facilities in Dewas, Mysore and Salboni.

Although the RBI has the power to print Indian currency the government still has the final say on a majority of the Reserve Bank's actions. The government decides which denominations are printed and the design of the bank notes.

The Minimum Reserve System (MRS) is followed from 1956  :

In India, currencies are issued by the RBI with the backing of reserves comprised of gold and foreign exchange (foreign currencies). For the issue of currencies, the RBI follows Minimum Reserve System at present. The Minimum Reserve System (MRS) is followed from 1956 onwards.

Under the Minimum Reserve System, the RBI has to keep a minimum reserve of Rs 200 crore comprising of gold coin and gold bullion and foreign currencies. Out of the total Rs 200 crores, Rs115 crore should be in the form of gold coins or gold bullion. The purpose of shifting to MRS was to expand money supply to meet the needs of increasing transactions in the economy.

THESE TWO ARE USED AS A RESERVE BY RBI:

The minimum reserve is a token of confidence and doesn’t have any practical connection with amount new currencies issued by the RBI. Under the Minimum Reserve System, RBI can issue unlimited amount of currency by keeping the reserve. But RBI follows some principle or rule for issuing new currencies based upon economic growth and transaction needs of the people.

Today currencies are printed not only based on the gold reserve it has, but also based on the Law by the government.
