Yes, RBI was conceptualised in accordance with the guidelines presented by Dr Ambedkar to the Hilton Young Commission based on his book, The Problem of the Rupee – Its Origin and Its Solution.

In 1934 Hilton Young commission then recommended for Setting up RBI.

Edit: First Finance Commission of India constituted by him in 1951 when he was the Law minister of India.

Which act introduced indirect elections for the first time??
Is it ICA, 1892 or Morley minto? 
Some sources mention ICA, 1892 also..
Please clarify

ICA Act 1892 introduced ‘Indirect’ elections

Morley Minto introduced ‘direct elections’


somebody please correct me if i am wrong.

Wasn't direct elections introduced in 1919?

Direct election introduced in GOI Act 1919.

In 1909 system of election was very indirect.

PS- same has already been discussed in this thread before. Reference of Static books as a proof is more apt in clearing doubts.
