A. Narasimham Committee
B. Urjit Patel Committee✓ Correct Answer
C. Nachiket Mor Committee
D. P. J. Nayak Committee
💡 Solution & Explanation
The Urjit Patel Committee, officially known as the Expert Committee to Revise and Strengthen the Monetary Policy Framework, recommended instituting a Monetary Policy Committee to anchor inflation expectations in India. Committees like the Narasimham Committee focused primarily on financial sector and banking reforms rather than inflation-targeting committees. This recommendation eventually led to the amendment of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934, establishing the statutory MPC in 2016.
