    Which one of the following is false with respect to interest structure in the Indian money market?
    Question



    Which one of the following is false with respect to interest structure in the Indian money market?

    A.

    A very tight liquidity position will increase the call rates while excess liquidity will give fairly low and stable rates.

    B.

    If the liquidity crunch of the banks is passed on to the system, it may lead to high volatility in the call rates.

    C.

    Call rates under normal liquidity conditions are the cap rate for the term money market.

    D.

    In a volatile call market situation, lending will yield high return and by selling Inter-bank participation, the bank will have more money to play in the call market.

    Correct option is C

    Call rates represent the interest rates at which banks borrow funds from each other for a short period, usually overnight. They are influenced by the liquidity conditions in the market. However, call rates do not necessarily act as a cap rate for the term money market. The term money market refers to borrowing and lending of funds for a longer duration, typically ranging from a few days to several months. The interest rates in the term money market are influenced by various factors, including market demand and supply, policy rates, and market expectations. Therefore, statement C is false.
