Question

As a rule, all major state capitals in India have offices of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), with only one exception. Which city has an RBI office despite not being a state capital?

• A. Pune
• B. Allahabad
• C. Baroda
• D. Nagpur

Hint:

Think of the one Maharashtra city, other than Mumbai, that still hosts a full RBI office.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Note the general rule.
RBI sets up its regional offices in state capitals because that is where banking and administrative work is heaviest.

Step 2: Check each city against this rule.
Pune, Allahabad and Baroda are all large cities, but none of them breaks the capital pattern, their states run RBI work from Mumbai, Lucknow and Gandhinagar.

Step 3: Spot the one exception.
Nagpur, though only a divisional city in Maharashtra and not the state capital, still has a full RBI office. This makes it the single exception to the rule.

Final Answer:
The city with an RBI office that is not a state capital is Nagpur. \[ \boxed{\text{Nagpur}} \]
