The correct answer is (c) 1645.

As on March 2012, there were 1645 Urban Co-operative Banks in India. These banks are regulated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). They are governed by a board of directors, which is elected by the members of the bank. The board of directors appoints a managing director to run the day-to-day operations of the bank.

Urban co-operative banks provide a range of financial services to their members, including savings accounts, loans, and investments. They also provide a number of other services, such as bill payments and remittances.

Urban co-operative banks play an important role in the Indian economy. They provide financial services to a large number of people who would not otherwise have access to these services. They also help to promote economic development in the areas where they operate.
