Which among the following limits the money multiplier process?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Banks must hold a fraction of deposits as reserves with the RBI under the Cash Reserve Ratio. Since only the remainder can be lent out, each round of deposit creation shrinks, limiting the money multiplier, which equals 1/CRR1/CRR (approximately, given reserve requirements). Hence CRR limits the multiplier process.
