Correct Answer

Explanation

A Vostro account is an account that a bank holds on behalf of another, usually a foreign bank. Three months after the Reserve Bank of India approved trade settlement in Indian rupees, the Union government has permitted nine banks to create special Vostro accounts. Three of the nine have established accounts: Gazprombank with UCO Bank (Kolkata), VTB, and Sberbank with their branches. The measure will make it easier for India to export to Russia.
