Key Points
- RBI publishes figures for four alternative measures of money supply, viz. M1, M2, M3 and M4. Here, M3 is defined as aggregate money supply.
- M1 = CU + DD
- M3 = M1 + Net time deposits of commercial banks where, CU is currency (notes plus coins) held by the public and DD is net demand deposits held by commercial banks.
- The word 'net' implies that only deposits of the public held by the banks are to be included in money supply.
- The interbank deposits, which a commercial bank holds in other commercial banks, are not to be regarded as part of money supply.
- M3 is the most commonly used measure of money supply. It is also known as aggregate monetary resources.
