सरकारचे सार्वजनिक कर्जफेड निधीची स्थापना करण्यामागे काय उद्दिष्ट्ये आहेत?

The correct answer is Option D (Above (1) and (2)).

Key Points:
• Managing government public debt efficiently requires dedicated financial mechanisms to maintain sovereign creditworthiness and fiscal discipline.
• A Public Debt Redemption Fund / Sinking Fund is established by governments to systematically set aside funds for the orderly repayment of public debt principal and interest obligations.
• Ensuring that principal and interest installments are paid in time (2) prevents defaults and maintains financial market confidence.
• By preventing debt servicing defaults and sudden fiscal crunches, it indirectly saves the economy from financial crises (1) and currency/sovereign downgrades.
• Because both objectives (managing timely debt repayment and safeguarding macroeconomic stability) are achieved through public debt funds, option (4) is correct.
• Key Takeaway: Government public debt funds are created to ensure timely repayment of principal/interest and protect the economy from financial distress.
