Select the correct answer using the code given below.

D.1, 2 and 3
B.2 and 3 only
A.1 only
C.1 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option A

Core Banking Solution (CBS) refers to the networking of a bank's branches.

This system allows customers to access their accounts and banking services from any branch within the CBS network, irrespective of where the account was originally opened.

Statement 1 is correct.

Statements 2 and 3 are incorrect as CBS is not directly related to RBI's control over commercial banks or the takeover of banks with Non-Performing Assets (NPAs).

Hence, only statement 1 is correct.
