RBI Committee on Housing Finance Securitisation

The question asks about the head of the committee set up by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for the development of the housing finance securitisation market in India.

The RBI periodically sets up expert committees to study and provide recommendations on various aspects of the financial sector. The development of a robust securitisation market, particularly for housing finance, is considered important for deepening the financial markets and improving liquidity for housing finance companies.

The specific committee mentioned in the question was constituted by the RBI with the objective of reviewing the existing state of the housing finance securitisation market and suggesting measures for its development.

Based on the available information, the committee for the development of the housing finance securitisation market set up by the RBI was headed by Dr. Harsh Vardhan. Dr. Harsh Vardhan is a former Executive Director of the RBI.

Therefore, the correct head of this particular committee is Harsh Vardhan.

  • None of these

Comparing this with the information that Dr. Harsh Vardhan headed the committee, the option containing "Harsh Vardhan" is the correct one.
