RBI Grade B Officer (General / DEPR / DSIM) 2021 · Question 197 of 260

In the following passage, some of the words have been made bold, each of which is preceded by a letter. Find the suitable word from the options given below that could replace the bold word so as to make the paragraph meaningful. Former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan’s note of caution on the next financial crisis that could be building up needs to be taken in all ___A___ consideration. In his note to Parliament’s Estimates Committee on bank non-performing assets (NPAs), Mr. Rajan has ___B___ established three major sources of potential trouble: Mudra credit, which is basically small- ticket loans granted to micro and small enterprises; ___C___ contributing to farmers through Kisan Credit Cards; and contingent liabilities under the Credit Guarantee Scheme for MSMEs, run by the Small Industries Development Bank of India. The disbursement under Mudra loans alone is ?6.37 lakh crore, which is over 7% of the total outstanding bank credit. These loans have been ___D___ sanctioned under the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana, which aims to ‘fund the unfunded’, and is a ___E___ signature scheme of the NDA government. Given that these are small loans up to Rs10 lakh each, with the borrowers mostly from the informal sector, banks have to monitor them very closely. It is debatable whether banks have the resources and manpower to do this when they are chasing the bigger borrowers for business and, increasingly these days, recoveries. The risk is that these small-ticket loans will drop under the radar and build into a large credit issue in course of time. The same logic holds true for crop loans made through Kisan Credit Cards. Fill in the blank D.
