Q24: How is 'CPM' (counterfeit notes per million) calculated for a soiled note remittance?

A
(No. of counterfeit notes in ₹100 and above X 1,000,000) / Number of pieces in the remittance in all denominations
B
(No. of counterfeit notes in ₹100 and above X 1,000,000) / Number of pieces in the remittance in ₹100 and above
C
(Total notional value of counterfeit notes X 1,000,000) / Total value of the remittance
D
(No. of all counterfeit notes X 1,000,000) / Total number of pieces in the remittance
✅ Correct Answer: B
CPM focuses specifically on denominations of ₹100 and above.
The RBI Rules on Counterfeit Notes use this formula to calculate the density of fakes in high-value remittances.
