A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus BASIC Money Market Fund, Inc., covering the 12-month period from March 1, 2013, through February 28, 2014. For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, as well as general market perspectives, we provide a Discussion of Fund Performance on the pages that follow.

The past 12 months proved volatile for many fixed-income investments in light of accelerating economic growth and a shift by the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) to a more moderately accommodative monetary policy. However, as they have been for the past several years, short-term interest rates and yields of money market instruments remained anchored near historical lows by an unchanged overnight federal funds rate.

The Fed has reiterated that short-term rates are likely to remain near current levels for some time to come. In this environment, we believe that the domestic economy will continue to strengthen, which could push long-term interest rates higher. We also anticipate a pickup in the global economy, led by developed nations amid ongoing monetary stimulus and reduced headwinds related to fiscal austerity and deleveraging. As always, we encourage you to discuss our observations with your financial advisor to assess their potential impact on your investments.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

J. Charles Cardona
President
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

For the period of March 1, 2013, through February 28, 2014, as provided by Bernard W. Kiernan, Jr., Portfolio Manager

Fund and Market Performance Overview

For the 12-month period ended February 28, 2014, Dreyfus BASIC Money Market Fund produced a yield of 0.00%.Taking into account the effects of compounding, the fund produced an effective yield of 0.00%.¹

Despite rising long-term interest rates, short-term interest rates and money market yields remained anchored near historical lows by an unchanged overnight federal funds rate between 0% and 0.25%.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund seeks as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity.To pursue this goal, the fund invests in a diversified portfolio of high-quality, short-term debt securities, including U.S. government securities, bank obligations, U.S. dollar-denominated foreign and domestic commercial paper, repurchase agreements, asset-backed securities and U.S. dollar-denominated obligations issued or guaranteed by foreign governments. Normally, the fund invests at least 25% of its total assets in foreign bank obligations.

When managing the fund, we closely monitor the outlook for economic growth and inflation, follow overseas developments and consider the posture of the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) in our decisions as to how to structure the fund. Based upon our economic outlook, we actively manage the fund’s average maturity in looking for opportunities that may present themselves in light of possible changes in interest rates.

U.S. Economic Recovery Gained Traction

The U.S. economic recovery appeared to gain momentum in April, 2013, when the private sector added 176,000 jobs and the unemployment rate fell to a multi-year low of 7.5%. In May, the Fed signaled that it would begin to curtail the central bank’s quantitative easing program sooner than expected, despite subsequent releases of data

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

showing reduced manufacturing activity and an increase in the unemployment rate to 7.6% during the month. Investors responded by driving long-term interest rates higher in June amid robust increases in home and automobile sales and the creation of 195,000 jobs.The U.S. economy grew at a respectable 2.5% annualized rate during the second quarter of the year.

July brought evidence of market stabilization when investors realized that imminent increases in short-term rates were unlikely, even as the unemployment rate slid to 7.4%. In August, the manufacturing sector expanded at its fastest pace since June 2011, and the unemployment rate dipped to 7.3%. Financial markets rallied in September when the Fed unexpectedly refrained from tapering its bond purchases, manufacturing activity expanded, and the service sector continued to grow.Yet, only 146,000 jobs were added in September even as the unemployment rate fell to 7.2%. U.S. economic activity accelerated to a robust 4.1% annualized growth rate during the third quarter.

October saw 204,000 new jobs, but furloughs of government workers during a U.S. government shutdown drove the unemployment rate to 7.3%, and the Fed again refrained from tapering quantitative easing. November showed a more robust recovery, including 274,000 new jobs and an unemployment rate of 7.0%. Manufacturing activity accelerated in December as new orders reached their highest level in four years. The Fed responded to more robust economic data by modestly reducing its monthly bond purchases, which helped drive yields of 10-year U.S.Treasury securities above 3% for the first time in two years. However, only 84,000 new jobs were created in December, the lowest monthly gain in three years even as the unemployment rate slid to 6.7%. It later was announced that the U.S. economy grew at a 2.6% annualized rate during the fourth quarter.

In January 2014, investors worried that downturns in the emerging markets could dampen the U.S. economic recovery. However, corporate earnings growth remained strong, and the unemployment rate declined to 6.6% with the addition of 129,000 jobs.As expected, the Fed announced an additional reduction in quantitative easing after its January meeting.

The U.S. economy appeared to regain strength in February when the manufacturing and service sectors of the economy each posted moderate gains. Although the unemployment rate ticked upward to 6.7%, 175,000 new jobs were created during the month, mainly due to hiring in the professional services, business services, and wholesale trade industries. However, many economists anticipated that growth for the first quarter of 2014 would be dampened by unusually harsh winter weather before reaccelerating in the months ahead.

Short-Term Rates Likely to Stay Low

Despite rising long-term interest rates, money market yields remained near zero percent, and yield differences along the market’s maturity spectrum stayed relatively narrow. In addition, monetary policymakers have reiterated that they are unlikely to raise short-term interest rates this year, and we will continue to monitor potential regulatory changes with respect to money market funds.

Therefore, as we have for some time, we have maintained the fund’s weighted average maturity in a market-neutral position, and we remained focused on well-established issuers with good liquidity characteristics.

March 17, 2014

An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. Although
the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing
in the fund.
Short-term corporate, asset-backed securities holdings and municipal securities holdings (as applicable), while rated in
the highest rating category by one or more NRSRO (or unrated, if deemed of comparable quality by the investment
adviser), involve credit and liquidity risks and risk of principal loss.

1 Effective yield is based upon dividends declared daily and reinvested monthly. Past performance is no guarantee of
future results.The Dreyfus Corporation has undertaken, if the aggregate direct expenses of the fund, exclusive of taxes,
brokerage, interest on borrowings and extraordinary expenses, but including the management fee, exceed 0.45 of 1% of
the value of the fund’s average daily net assets, the fund may deduct from the payment to be made to Dreyfus under
the Management Agreement, or Dreyfus will bear, such excess expense. Dreyfus may terminate this agreement upon at
least 90 days prior notice to investors, but has committed not to do so until at least July 1, 2014. Had these expenses
not been absorbed, fund yields would have been lower, and in some cases, 7-day yield would have been negative.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES (Unaudited)

As a mutual fund investor, you pay ongoing expenses, such as management fees and other expenses. Using the information below, you can estimate how these expenses affect your investment and compare them with the expenses of other funds. If your account balance is less than $50,000, your account may be subject to exchange fees, account closeout fees, and wire and Dreyfus TeleTransfer redemption fees each in the amount of $5.00, as well as a checkwriting fee of $2.00. None of these fees are shown in this section and would have resulted in higher total expenses. For more information, see your fund’s prospectus or talk to your financial adviser.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus BASIC Money Market Fund, Inc. (the “fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a diversified open-end management investment company.The fund’s investment objective is to seek as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser. MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge.

It is the fund’s policy to maintain a continuous net asset value per share of $1.00; the fund has adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend and distribution policies to enable it to do so.There is no assurance, however, that the fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value per share of $1.00.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions.Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at amortized cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate market value, the fair value of the portfolio securities will be determined by procedures established by and under the general supervision of the fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value.This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements.These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The Fund 15

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Act. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of February 28, 2014 in valuing the fund’s investments:


	Short-Term
Valuation Inputs	Investments ($)^†
Level 1—Unadjusted Quoted Prices	—
Level 2—Other Significant Observable Inputs	252,974,847
Level 3—Significant Unobservable Inputs	—
Total	252,974,847
† See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.

At February 28, 2014, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and is recognized on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Cost of investments represents amortized cost.

The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions, deemed to be creditworthy by the Manager, subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase and the fund’s agreement to resell such securities at a mutually agreed upon price. Pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement, such securities must have an aggregate market value greater than or equal to the terms of the repurchase price plus accrued interest at all times. If the value of the underlying securities falls below the value of the repurchase price plus accrued interest, the fund

will require the seller to deposit additional collateral by the next business day. If the request for additional collateral is not met, or the seller defaults on its repurchase obligation, the fund maintains its right to sell the underlying securities at market value and may claim any resulting loss against the seller.The fund may also jointly enter into one or more repurchase agreements with other Dreyfus-managed funds in accordance with an exemptive order granted by the SEC pursuant to section 17(d) and Rule 17d-1 under the Act. Any joint repurchase agreements must be collateralized fully by U.S. Government securities.

(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains.

(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

As of and during the period ended February 28, 2014, the fund did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions.The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended February 28, 2014, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each tax year in the four-year period ended February 28, 2014 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “2010 Act”), the fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 (“post-enactment losses”) for an unlimited period. Furthermore, post-enactment capital loss carryovers retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than short-term as they were under previous statute.The 2010 Act requires post-enactment losses to be utilized before the utilization of losses incurred in taxable years prior to the effective date of the 2010 Act (“pre-enactment losses”).As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment losses may be more likely to expire unused.

The accumulated capital loss carryover of $75,505 is available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net realized capital gains, if any, realized subsequent to February 28, 2014. If not applied, the carryover expires in fiscal year 2018.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 were all ordinary income.

At February 28, 2014, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes (see the Statement of Investments).

NOTE 2—Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .50% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. The Manager has undertaken, if the fund’s aggregate expenses (excluding taxes, brokerage fees and extraordinary expenses) exceed an annual rate of .45% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets, the fund may deduct from the payment to be made to the Manager under the

Agreement, or the Manager will bear, such excess expense.The Manager may terminate this undertaking agreement upon at least 90 days’ prior notice to shareholders, but has committed not to do so until at least July 1, 2014. The reduction in expenses, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $705,649 during the period ended February 28, 2014.

The Manager has also undertaken to waive receipt of the management fee and/or reimburse operating expenses in order to facilitate a daily yield at or above a certain level which may change from time to time. This undertaking is voluntary and not contractual, and may be terminated at any time. The reduction in expenses, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $776,070 during the period ended February 28, 2014.

(b) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, the fund reimburses the Distributor an amount not to exceed an annual rate of .25% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets for certain allocated expenses of providing personal services and/or maintaining shareholder accounts. The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. During the period ended February 28, 2014, the fund was charged $254,817 pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

The fund has arrangements with the transfer agent and the custodian whereby the fund may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset transfer agency and custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

The fund compensates DreyfusTransfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, under a transfer agency agreement for providing transfer agency and cash management services for the fund.The majority of transfer agency fees are comprised of amounts paid on a per account basis, while cash management fees are related to fund subscriptions and redemptions.

These fees are determined based on net assets, geographic region and transaction activity. During the period ended February 28, 2014, the fund was charged $60,972 pursuant to the custody agreement.These fees were partially offset by earnings credits of $860.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Shareholders and Board of Directors Dreyfus BASIC Money Market Fund, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Dreyfus BASIC Money Market Fund, Inc., including the statement of investments, as of February 28, 2014, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement.We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of February 28, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and others. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dreyfus BASIC Money Market Fund, Inc. at February 28, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
