16. Issue of New Currency
During Inflation the RBI will issue new currency notes replacing many old notes. This will reduce the supply of money in the economy.

17. Marginal Requirement Ratio
Marginal Requirement of Loan = Current value of security offered for loan - Value of loans granted.

18. Deficit Financing
It means printing of new currency notes by Reserve Bank of India .If more new notes are printed it will increase the supply of money thereby increasing demand and prices. Thus during Inflation, RBI will stop printing new currency notes thereby controlling inflation.
