Q: 83 (CDS-II/2024)
Consider the following statements:
1. A rupee Vostro account is an account that an Indian bank holds for a foreign bank in the domestic currency (rupee) to enable domestic banks to provide international banking services.
2. Insurance density, i.e., average insurance premium per capita does not fully capture the financing gap in the event of a premature death because most of the insurance products sold in India are savings-linked with a small component of protection.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Statement 1 is true as a rupee Vostro account is held in domestic currency by an Indian bank for a foreign entity. Statement 2 is also correct as insurance density only gives a snapshot and does not fully reflect the protection gap, as most Indian insurance products are savings-linked.
