    Solution

    Ways and Means Advances are extended by the Reserve Bank of India to the states in order to help them meet the temporary mismatch in the cash flow. The states can repay the advance within a maximum period of 90 days. There is no such facility given to the central government by the central bank. WMA is guided by the Section 17(5) of the RBI Act 1934.
