Important exam questions with answers

Explain the concept of demonetisation and its impact on the Indian economy.

Demonetisation is the government’s act of declaring certain currency notes invalid, as happened in India in 2016 with 500 and 1000 rupee notes. It aimed to curb black money and promote digital payments but caused difficulties for small traders and rural people due to cash shortages. (2 points: definition and impact)

What are the main functions of money? Give two examples.

Money functions as a medium of exchange (used to buy goods, e.g., paying for groceries) and as a store of value (saving money for future use). Other functions include measuring value and facilitating payments. (2 points: mention two functions with examples)

Differentiate between formal and informal sources of credit with examples.

Formal credit sources are registered institutions like banks and cooperatives that follow government rules, offering loans at regulated interest rates. Informal sources include moneylenders and relatives who often charge high interest and pose risks. (2 points: definition and examples of each)

FAQ

Why is money considered more than just paper?

Money is valuable because the government declares it legal tender, backed by trust and social agreement, not just because of the paper it is printed on. You can listen to the full explanation on Harshali Academy.

How did demonetisation promote digital payments?

Demonetisation reduced cash availability, encouraging people to use online payments, mobile wallets, and UPI apps. Harshali Academy’s audio lessons explain this transition in detail.

What risks are involved in borrowing from informal sources?

Informal credit often comes with very high interest rates and lack of regulation, which can trap borrowers in debt. Harshali Academy covers these risks with examples for better understanding.

How does credit help in economic development?

Credit allows individuals and businesses to invest and grow by borrowing money with a promise to repay later, thus supporting economic activities. Harshali Academy’s chapter explains this with real-life examples.

What is meant by demand deposits?

Demand deposits are money kept in bank accounts that can be withdrawn anytime, such as through ATMs or debit cards. Harshali Academy’s lessons clarify this concept with simple explanations.
