Correct Answer:
Option B —
Increase in borrowing limits of Private banks account from RBI.
Analysis of the Options:
A) Disallowing Global tenders up to 200 crores: This was a key step under the Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan to support MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) by protecting them from foreign competition in government procurement.
B) Increase in borrowing limits (Incorrect): While the central government increased the borrowing limits for State Governments (from 3% to 5% of GSDP), there was no specific "Atmanirbhar Bharat" step defined as increasing borrowing limits specifically for private banks from the RBI in this context.
C) Elimination of regulatory assets: This is part of the power sector reforms under the package, aimed at improving the financial health of power distribution companies (DISCOMs).
D) One Nation One Ration Card: This was a major pillar for migrant workers and urban poor to ensure food security and portability of benefits across India.
