    C The MoU enables UK-based banks to bypass regulatory requirements when clearing transactions through CCIL. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D It establishes a framework for BoE to place reliance on RBI’s regulatory and supervisory activities, facilitating CCIL's recognition as a third-country Central Counterparty (CCP) for UK-based banks. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E The MoU emphasizes the independence of CCIL from both RBI and BoE, allowing it to operate without regulatory oversight. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The MoU between RBI and BoE aims to establish a framework for the Bank of England to place reliance on RBI’s regulatory and supervisory activities concerning CCIL. This cooperation is intended to facilitate CCIL's recognition as a third-country Central Counterparty (CCP), which is a prerequisite for UK-based banks to clear transactions through CCIL.
