Until the Monetary Policy Committee was established in 2016,[6] it also had full control over
monetary policy in the country.[7] It commenced its operations on 1 April 1935 in accordance with
the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934.[8] The original share capital was divided into shares of 100
each fully paid.[9] Following India's independence on 15 August 1947, the RBI was nationalised on 1
January 1949.[10]

The overall direction of the RBI lies with the 21-member central board of directors, composed of: the
governor; four deputy governors; two finance ministry representatives (usually the Economic Affairs
Secretary and the Financial Services Secretary); ten government-nominated directors; and four
directors who represent local boards for Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, and Delhi. Each of these local
boards consists of five members who represent regional interests and the interests of co-operative
and indigenous banks.

It is a member bank of the Asian Clearing Union. The bank is also active in promoting financial
inclusion policy and is a leading member of the Alliance for Financial Inclusion (AFI). The bank is
often referred to by the name 'Mint Street'.[11]

Preamble

The preamble of the Reserve Bank of India describes the basic functions of the reserve bank as:[12]

"to regulate the issue of Bank notes and keeping of reserves with a view to
securing monetary stability in India and generally to operate the currency
and credit system of the country to its advantage; to have a modern
monetary policy framework to meet the challenge of an increasingly
complex economy, to maintain price stability while keeping in mind the
objective of growth."

History

A 2010 stamp dedicated to the 75th

anniversary of the Reserve Bank of
India

The Reserve Bank of India was established[13] following the Reserve Bank of India Act of 1934.[14]
Though privately owned initially, it was nationalised in 1949 and since then fully owned by the
Ministry of Finance, Government of India (GoI).

1935–1949

Reserve Bank of India-10 Rupees

(1938), the first year of banknote
issue.

The Reserve Bank of India was founded on 1 April 1935 to respond to economic troubles after the
First World War.[15] The bank was set up based on the recommendations of the 1926 Royal
Commission on Indian Currency and Finance, also known as the Hilton Young Commission.[16]
Eventually, the Central Legislative Assembly passed these guidelines as the RBI Act 1934. The
original choice for the seal of RBI was the East India Company Double Mohur, with the sketch of the
Lion and Palm Tree. However, it was decided to replace the lion with the tiger, the national animal of
India. The Preamble of the RBI describes its basic functions to regulate the issue of banknotes,
keep reserves to secure monetary stability in India, and generally to operate the currency and credit
system in the best interests of the country. The Central Office of the RBI was established in Calcutta
(now Kolkata) but was moved to Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1937. The RBI also acted as Burma's
(now Myanmar) central bank until April 1947 (except during the years of Japanese occupation
(1942–45)), even though Burma seceded from the Indian Union in 1937. After the Partition of India
in August 1947, the bank served as the central bank for Pakistan until June 1948 when the State
Bank of Pakistan commenced operations. Though set up as a shareholders' bank, the RBI has been
fully owned by the Government of India since its nationalisation in 1949.[17] RBI has a monopoly of
note issue.
1950–1960

In the 1950s, the Indian government, under its first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, developed a
centrally planned economic policy that focused on the agricultural sector. The administration
nationalised commercial banks[18] and established, based on the Banking Companies Act, 1949
(later called the Banking Regulation Act), a central bank regulation as part of the RBI. Furthermore,
the central bank was ordered to support economic plan with loans.[19]

1961–1968

As a result of bank crashes, the RBI was requested to establish and monitor a deposit insurance
system. Meant to restore the trust in the national bank system, it was initialized on 7 December
1961. The Indian government founded the funds to promote the economy and used the slogan
"Developing Banking". The government of India restructured the national bank market and
nationalized a lot of institutes. As a result, the RBI had to play the central part in controlling and
supporting this public banking sector.

1969–1984

In 1969, the Indira Gandhi-headed government nationalised 14 major commercial banks. Upon
Indira Gandhi's return to power in 1980, a further six banks were nationalised.[16] The regulation of
the economy and especially the financial sector was reinforced by the Government of India in the
1970s and 1980s.[20] The central bank became the central player and increased its policies a lot for
various tasks like interests, reserve ratio and visible deposits.[21] These measures aimed at better
economic development and had a huge effect on the company policy of the institutes. The banks
lend money in selected sectors, like agricultural business and small trade companies.[22] The
Banking Commission was established on Wednesday, 29 January 1969, to analyse banking costs,
effects of legislations and banking procedures, including non-banking financial intermediaries and
indigenous banking on Government of India economy; with R.G. Saraiya as the chairman.[23][24][25]

The branch was forced to establish two new offices in the country for every newly established office
in a town.[26] The oil crises in 1973 resulted in increasing inflation, and the RBI restricted monetary
policy to reduce the effects.[27]
1985–1990

A lot of committees analysed the Indian economy between 1985 and 1989. Their results had an
effect on the RBI. The Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction, the Indira Gandhi Institute of
Development Research and the Security & Exchange Board of India investigated the national
economy as a whole, and the security and exchange board proposed better methods for more
effective markets and the protection of investor interests. The Indian financial market was a leading
example for so-called "financial repression" (Mckinnon and Shaw).[21] The Discount and Finance
House of India began its operations in the monetary market in April 1988; the National Housing Bank,
founded in July 1988, was forced to invest in the property market and a new financial law improved
the versatility of direct deposit by more security measures and liberalisation.[28]

1991–1999

The national economy contracted in July 1991 as the Indian rupee was devalued.[29] The currency
lost 18% of its value relative to the US dollar, and the Narsimham Committee advised restructuring
the financial sector by a temporal reduced reserve ratio as well as the statutory liquidity ratio. New
guidelines were published in 1993 to establish a private banking sector. This turning point was
meant to reinforce the market and was often called neo-liberal.[20] The central bank deregulated
bank interests and some sectors of the financial market like the trust and property markets.[30] This
first phase was a success and the central government forced a diversity liberalisation to diversify
owner structures in 1998.[21]

The National Stock Exchange of India took the trade on in June 1994 and the RBI allowed
nationalised banks in July to interact with the capital market to reinforce their capital base. The
central bank founded a subsidiary company—the Bharatiya Reserve Bank Note Mudran Private
Limited—on 3 February 1995 to produce banknotes.[31]

2000 - 2009

The Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 came into force in June 2000. It should improve the
item in 2004–2005 (National Electronic Fund Transfer).[32] The Security Printing & Minting
Corporation of India Ltd., a merger of nine institutions, was founded in 2006 and produces
banknotes and coins.[33]

The national economy's growth rate came down to 5.8% in the last quarter of 2008–2009[34] and the
central bank promotes the economic development.[35]
Since 2010

In 2016, the Government of India amended the RBI Act to establish the Monetary Policy Committee
(MPC) to set. This limited the role of the RBI in setting interest rates, as the MPC membership is
evenly divided between members of the RBI (including the RBI governor) and independent members
appointed by the government. However, in the event of a tie, the vote of the RBI governor is
decisive.[7]

In April 2018, the RBI announced that "entities regulated by RBI shall not deal with or provide
services to any individual or business entities dealing with or settling virtual currencies," including
Bitcoin.[36] While the RBI later clarified that it "has not prohibited" virtual currencies,[37] a three-judge
panel of the Supreme Court of India issued a ruling on 4 March 2020 that the RBI had failed to show
"at least some semblance of any damage suffered by its regulated entities" through the handling of
virtual currencies to justify its decision.[38] The court challenge was filed by the Internet and Mobile
Association of India, whose members include some cryptocurrency exchanges whose businesses
suffered following the RBI's 2018 order.[39][40][41]

Structure

RBI Monetary Museum in Mumbai

was established by the bank under its
educational programme in 2004.

The central board of directors is the main committee of the central bank. The Government of India
appoints the directors for a four-year term. The board consists of a governor, and not more than
four deputy governors; four directors to represent the regional boards;[42] two – usually the
Economic Affairs Secretary and the Financial Services Secretary – from the Ministry of Finance and
ten other directors from various fields. The Reserve Bank – under Raghuram Rajan's governorship –
wanted to create a post of a chief operating officer (COO), in the rank of deputy governor and
wanted to re-allocate work between the five of them (four deputy governor and COO).[43][44]

Two of the four deputy governors are traditionally from RBI ranks and are selected from the bank's
executive directors. One is nominated from among the chairpersons of public sector banks and the
other is an economist. An Indian Administrative Service officer can also be appointed as deputy
governor of RBI and later as the governor of RBI as with the case of Y. Venugopal Reddy and Duvvuri
Subbarao. Other persons forming part of the central board of directors of the RBI are Revathi Iyer,
Sachin Chaturvedi, Satish Kashinath Marathe, Swaminathan Gurumurthy, Anand Gopal Mahindra,
Venu Srinivasan, Pankaj Ramanbhai Patel, Ravindra H. Dholakia, Ajay Seth, and Vivek Joshi.

Executive Directors (ED) consist of M. Rajeshwar Rao, Lily Vadera, Rabi N. Mishra, Smt. Nanda S.
Dave, Anil K. Sharma, S. C. Murmu, T. Rabi Sankar, Janak Raj, P Vijayakumar, Indrani Banerjee, O.P.
Mall and Sudha Balakrishnan (Chief Financial Officer).[45]

Sudha Balakrishnan, a former vice-president at National Securities Depository Limited, assumed

charge as the first chief financial officer (CFO) of the Reserve Bank on 15 May 2018; she was given
the rank of an executive director.[46]

The bank's current governor is Shaktikanta Das.[2] There are currently four deputy governors
Swaminathan J, M. Rajeshwar Rao,[47] Michael Patra[48][49][50][51] and T. Rabi Shankar.[52]

The RBI has four regional representations: North in New Delhi, South in Chennai, East in Kolkata and
West in Mumbai. The representations are formed by five members, appointed for four years by the
central government and with the advice of the central board of directors serve as a forum for
regional banks and to deal with delegated tasks from the Central Board.[55]

RBI has 31 branches in India. Mostly all are in Capital cities, exceptions are the Nagpur Reserve
Bank branch which is actually a Second capital of Maharashtra and the Ahmedabad Reserve Bank
branch. Nagpur Reserve Bank was established in 1956, while the Ahmedabad branch was
established in 1950.

It has 3 training colleges for its officers, viz. Reserve Bank Staff College Chennai, Reserve Bank of
India Academy Mumbai, and Reserve Bank of India College of Agricultural Banking Pune. There are
three autonomous institutions run by RBI namely National Institute of Bank Management (NIBM),
Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research (IGIDR), Institute for Development and Research in
Banking Technology (IDRBT).[56] There are also four zonal training centres at Mumbai, Chennai,
Kolkata, and New Delhi.

The Board of Financial Supervision (BFS), formed in November 1994, serves as a CCBD committee
to control the financial institutions. It has four members, appointed for two years, and takes
measures to strength the role of statutory auditors in the financial sector, external monitoring, and
internal controlling systems. The Tarapore committee was set up by the Reserve Bank of India
under the chairmanship of former RBI deputy governor S. S. Tarapore to "lay the road map" to
capital account convertibility. The five-member committee recommended a three-year time frame
for complete convertibility by 1999–2000.

On 8 December 2017, Surekha Marandi, executive director (ED) of Reserve Bank of India, said RBI
will open an office in the north-eastern state of Arunachal Pradesh.[57]

The central bank of any country executes many functions such as overseeing monetary policy,
issuing currency, managing foreign exchange, working as a bank for government and as a banker of
scheduled commercial banks. It also works for overall economic growth of the country. The
preamble of the Reserve Bank of India describes its main functions as:

"...to regulate the issue of Bank Notes and keeping of reserves with a view to
securing monetary stability in India and generally to operate the currency and
credit system of the country to its advantage."

Financial supervision

The primary objective of RBI is to undertake consolidated supervision of the financial sector
comprising commercial banks, financial institutions, and non-banking finance companies.

The board is constituted by co-opting four directors from the Central Board as members for a term
of two years and is chaired by the governor. The deputy governors of the reserve bank are ex-officio
members. One deputy governor, usually the deputy governor in charge of banking regulation and
supervision, is nominated as the vice-chairman of the board. The board is required to meet normally
once every month. It considers inspection reports and other supervisory issues placed before it by
the supervisory departments.

BFS through the Audit Sub-Committee also aims at upgrading the quality of the statutory audit and
internal audit functions in banks and financial institutions. The audit sub-committee includes deputy
governor as the chairman and two directors of the Central Board as members. The BFS oversees
the functioning of the Department of Banking Supervision (DBS), the Department of Non-Banking
Supervision (DNBS) and the Financial Institutions Division (FID) and gives directions on the
regulatory and supervisory issues.
Regulator and supervisor of the financial system

The institution is also the regulator and supervisor of the financial system and prescribes broad
parameters of banking operations within which the country's banking and financial system
functions. Its objectives are to maintain public confidence in the system, protect depositors' interest
and provide cost-effective banking services to the public. The Banking Ombudsman Scheme has
been formulated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for effective addressing of complaints by bank
customers. The RBI controls the monetary supply, monitors economic indicators like the gross
domestic product and has to decide the design of the rupee banknotes as well as coins.[63]

Regulator and supervisor of the payment and settlement systems

Payment and settlement systems play an important role in improving overall economic efficiency.
The Payment and Settlement Systems Act of 2007 (PSS Act)[64] gives the Reserve Bank oversight
authority, including regulation and supervision, for the payment and settlement systems in the
country. In this role, the RBI focuses on the development and functioning of safe, secure and
efficient payment and settlement mechanisms. Two payment systems National Electronic Fund
Transfer (NEFT) and Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) allow individuals, companies and firms to
transfer funds from one bank to another. These facilities can only be used for transferring money
within the country.

From 16 December 2019, one can transfer money online using the National Electronic Funds
Transfer (NEFT) route 24x7, i.e., any time of the day and any day of the week. The Reserve Bank of
India stated earlier in December 2019 that bank customers will be able to transfer funds through
NEFT around the clock on all days including weekends and holidays from 16 December.[65] In RTGS,
transactions are processed continuously 24x7.[66]

Banker and debt manager to government

Just as individuals need a bank to carry out their financial transactions effectively and efficiently,
governments also need a bank to carry out their financial transactions. The RBI serves this purpose
for the Government of India (GoI). As a banker to the Government of India, the RBI maintains its
accounts, receive payments into and make payments out of these accounts. The RBI also helps the
GoI to raise money from the public via issuing bonds and government-approved securities. In Sep
2019, a decision at RBI directors meet was taken to change the RBI financial accounting year to
March–April to align itself with the central government calendar instead of the current June–July
year.[67]
RBI issue taxable bonds for investments. From 1 July 2020, RBI is offering Floating Rate Savings
Bonds, 2020 (Taxable) – FRSB 2020 (T). The interest on the bonds is payable semi-annually on 1
Jan and 1 July every year. The coupon on 1 January 2021 shall be paid at 7.15%. The Interest rate
for next half-year will be reset every six months, the first reset being on 1 January 2021. There is no
option to pay interest on cumulative basis.[68]

Managing foreign exchange

The central bank manages to reach different goals of the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999.
Their objective is to facilitate external trade and payment and promote orderly development and
maintenance of foreign exchange market in India.

With the increasing integration of the Indian economy with the global economy arising from greater
trade and capital flows, the foreign exchange market has evolved as a key segment of the Indian
financial market and the RBI has an important role to play in regulating and managing this segment.
The RBI manages forex and gold reserves of the nation.

On a given day, the foreign exchange rate reflects the demand for and supply of foreign exchange
arising from trade and capital transactions. The RBI's Financial Markets Department (FMD)
participates in the foreign exchange market by undertaking sales/purchases of foreign currency to
ease volatility in periods of excess demand for/supply of foreign currency.

Issue of currency

Other than the Government of India, the Reserve Bank of India is the sole body authorised to issue
banknotes in India.

The bank also destroys banknotes when they are not fit for circulation. All the money issued by the
central bank is its monetary liability, i.e., the central bank is obliged to back the currency with assets
of equal value, to enhance public confidence in paper currency. The objectives are to issue
banknotes and give the public adequate supply of the same, to maintain the currency and credit
system of the country to utilise it in its best advantage, and to maintain the reserves.

The RBI maintains the economic structure of the country so that it can achieve the objective of price
stability as well as economic development because both objectives are diverse in themselves.

For the printing of notes, RBI uses four facilities:[69]

 The Security Printing and Minting Corporation of India Limited (SPMCIL), a wholly owned
company of the Government of India, has printing presses at Nashik, Maharashtra and Dewas,
Madhya Pradesh.

The Bharatiya Reserve Bank Note Mudran Private Limited (BRBNMPL), owned by the RBI, has
printing facilities in Mysore, Karnataka and Salboni, West Bengal.

For the minting of coins, SPMCIL has four mints at Mumbai, Noida, Kolkata and Hyderabad for coin
production.[69]

Whilst coins are minted by, and ₹1 notes are issued by the Government of India (GoI), the RBI works
as an agent of GoI for the distribution and handling of coins. RBI also works to prevent
counterfeiting of currency by regularly upgrading security features of currency.

The RBI is authorised to issue notes with face values of up to ₹10,000 and coins up to ₹1,000
rupees.

New ₹500 and ₹2,000 notes were issued on 8 November 2016. The old series of ₹1,000 and ₹500
notes were banned on 8 November 2016, and are no longer in use.

Earlier ₹1,000 notes have been discarded by the RBI.

Bankers' bank

Nagpur branch holds most of India's

gold deposits.[70][71][72][73]

Reserve Bank of India also works as a central bank where commercial banks are account holders
and can deposit money. RBI maintains banking accounts of all scheduled banks.[74] Commercial
banks create credit. It is the duty of the RBI to control the credit through the CRR, repo rate, and
open market operations. As the bankers' bank, the RBI facilitates the clearing of cheques between
the commercial banks and helps the inter-bank transfer of funds. It can grant financial
accommodation to schedule banks. It acts as the lender of the last resort by providing emergency
advances to the banks.
Regulator of the Banking System

RBI has the responsibility of regulating the nation's financial system. As a regulator and supervisor
of the Indian banking system it ensures financial stability & public confidence in the banking
system. RBI uses methods like On-site inspections, off-site surveillance, scrutiny & periodic
meetings to supervise new bank licences, setting capital requirements and regulating interest rates
in specific areas. RBI is currently focused on implementing norms.

Detection of fake currency

To curb the counterfeit money problem in India, RBI has launched a website to raise awareness
among masses about fake banknotes in the market. www.paisaboltahai.rbi.org.in provides
information about identifying fake currency.[75]

On 22 January 2014; RBI gave a press release stating that after 31 March 2014, it will completely
withdraw from circulation of all banknotes issued prior to 2005. From 1 April 2014, the public will be
required to approach banks for exchanging these notes. Banks will provide exchange facility for
these notes until further communication. The reserve bank has also clarified that the notes issued
before 2005 will continue to be legal tender. This would mean that banks are required to exchange
the notes for their customers as well as for non-customers. After 1 July 2014, to exchange more
than 15 pieces of '500 and '1000 notes, non-customers must furnish proof of identity and residence
as well as show aadhar to the bank branch in order to exchange the notes.

This move from the reserve bank is expected to unearth black money held in cash. As the new
currency notes have added increased security features, they would help in curbing the menace of
fake currency.[76]

Developmental role

The central bank has to perform a wide range of promotional functions to support national
objectives and industries.[19] The RBI faces a lot of inter-sectoral and local inflation-related
problems. Some of these problems are results of the dominant part of the public sector.[77]

Key tools in this effort include Priority Sector Lending such as agriculture, micro and small
enterprises (MSE), housing and education. RBI work towards strengthening and supporting small
local banks and encourage banks to open branches in rural areas to include large section of society
in banking net.
Banker to the Government

The RBI is also a banker to the government and performs merchant banking function for the central
and the state governments. It also acts as their banker. The National Housing Bank (NHB) was
established in 1988 to promote private real estate acquisition.[78] The institution maintains banking
accounts of all scheduled banks, too. RBI on 7 August 2012 said that Indian banking system is
resilient enough to face the stress caused by the drought-like situation because of poor monsoon
this year.[79]

Custodian to foreign exchange

The Reserve Bank has custody of the country's reserves of international currency, and this enables
the Reserve Bank to deal with crisis connected with adverse balance of payments position.

CSD for G-Sec (Government Securities)

Public Debt Office (PDO) acts as CSD (Central Securities Depository) for G-Sec.

MIFOR (Mumbai Interbank Forward Offer Rate)

With LIBOR cessation in 2021, RBI is set to replace MIFOR with a new benchmark. MIFOR has LIBOR
as one of the components and used in interest rate swap (IRS) markets.

2016 demonetisation

People gathered at ATM of Axis Bank

in Mehsana, Gujarat to withdraw cash
following deposit of demonetised
currency notes in bank on 15
November 2016.

On 8 November 2016, the Government of India announced the demonetisation of all ₹ 500 and ₹
1,000 banknotes of the Mahatma Gandhi Series despite being warned by the Reserve Bank of India
(RBI).[80][81] The government claimed that the action would curtail the shadow economy and crack
down on the use of illicit and counterfeit cash to fund illegal activity and terrorism.[82][83]

The Reserve Bank of India laid down a detailed procedure for the exchange of the demonetised
banknotes with new ₹ 500 and ₹ 2,000 banknotes of the Mahatma Gandhi New Series and ₹ 100
banknotes of the preceding Mahatma Gandhi Series. The key points were:

Long queue in front of SBI ATM at

Paravur near the city of Kollam in
Kerala, 19 November 2016.

Citizens had until 30 December 2016 to tender their old banknotes at any office of the RBI or any
bank branch and credit the value into their respective bank accounts.

Cash withdrawals from bank accounts were restricted to ₹10,000 (US$130) per day and ₹20,000
(US$250) per week per account from 10 to 13 November 2016. This limit was increased to
₹24,000 (US$300) per week from 14 November.[84][85]

For immediate cash needs, the old banknotes could be exchanged for the new ₹500 and ₹2,000
banknotes as well as ₹100 banknotes over the counter of bank branches by filling up a requisition
form along with a valid ID proof. It was announced that this facility would be available until 30
December 2016.
Initially, the limit was fixed at ₹4,000 (US$50) per person from 8 to 13 November 2016.

This limit was increased to ₹4,500 (US$56) per person from 14 to 17 November 2016.[84][85]

The limit was reduced to ₹2,000 (US$25) per person from 18 November 2016.[86]

All exchange of banknotes was abruptly stopped from 25 November 2016.[87]

Initially, all ATMs were dispensing banknotes of only ₹ 50 and ₹100 denominations and cash
withdrawals from ATMs were restricted to ₹2,000 (US$25) per day.[88] From 14 November
onwards, ATMs were recalibrated to dispense new ₹500 and ₹2,000 notes and to allow a
maximum withdrawal of ₹2,500 (US$31) per day, while other ATMs dispensing banknotes of only
₹50 and ₹100 denominations will allow a maximum withdrawal of ₹2,000 (US$25) per day.[84][85]
However, exceptions were given to petrol, CNG and gas stations, government hospitals, railway and
airline booking counters, state-government recognised dairies and ration stores, and crematoriums
to accept the old ₹500 and ₹1,000 banknotes until 11 November 2016, which was later extended to
14 November 2016 and once again to 24 November 2016.[89][90] International airports were also
instructed to facilitate an exchange of notes amounting to a total value of ₹5,000 (US$63) for
foreign tourists and outbound passengers.[91]

Under the revised guidelines issued on 17 November 2016, families were allowed to withdraw
₹250,000 (US$3,100) for wedding expenses from one account provided it was KYC compliant. The
rules were also changed for farmers who are permitted to withdraw ₹25,000 (US$310) per week
from their accounts against crop loan.[86][92]

Cash crunch and demerits

Queue at a Bank of Baroda's ATM for

₹100 banknotes in Howrah, on 8
November 2016, 22:23 (IST)

People queue outside Axis Bank to

deposit and exchange old ₹500 and
₹1,000 banknotes in Kolkata on 10
November 2016

The scarcity of cash due to demonetisation led to chaos, and most people holding old banknotes
faced difficulties exchanging them due to endless lines outside banks and ATMs across India, which
became a daily routine for millions of people waiting to deposit or exchange the ₹500 and ₹1,000
banknotes since 9 November.[93][94][95][96] ATMs were running out of cash after a few hours of being
functional, and around half the ATMs in the country were non-functional.[94] Sporadic violence was
reported in New Delhi, but there were no reports of any grievous injury,[97] people attacked bank
premises and ATMs,[98][99][100][101][102][103] and a ration shop was looted in Madhya Pradesh after the
shop owner refused to accept ₹500 banknotes.[104][105][106][107]

Merits
It gave the country a ₹5 trillion advantage as there was a huge spike in country's tax base and
addition of 100,000 more pan card holders.[108]

There was a very big spike in digital transaction even small town and cities people adopted
paying digitally for goods and services leading to sustained growth of non-cash payments.[109]

Repo rate

Repo (repurchase) rate also known as the benchmark interest rate is the rate at which the RBI lends
money to the commercial banks for a short-term (a maximum of 90 days). When the repo rate
increases, borrowing from RBI becomes more expensive. If RBI wants to make it more expensive for
the banks to borrow money, it increases the repo rate similarly, if it wants to make it cheaper for
banks to borrow money it reduces the repo rate. If the repo rate is increased, banks can't carry out
their business at a profit whereas the very opposite happens when the repo rate is cut down.
Generally, repo rates are cut down whenever the country needs to progress in banking and economy.

If banks want to borrow money (for short term, usually overnight) from RBI then banks have to
charge this interest rate. Banks have to pledge government securities as collateral. This kind of deal
happens through a re-purchase agreement. If a bank wants to borrow, it has to provide government
securities at least worth ₹ 1 billion (could be more because of margin requirement which is 5%–10%
of loan amount) and agree to repurchase them at ₹1.07 billion (US$13 million) at the end of
borrowing period. So the bank has paid ₹65 million (US$810,000) as interest. This is the reason it is
called repo rate.

The government securities which are provided by banks as collateral can not come from SLR quota
(otherwise the SLR will go below 19.5% of NDTL and attract penalties).

To curb inflation, the RBI increases repo rate which will make borrowing costs for banks. Banks will
pass this increased cost to their customers which make borrowing costly in the whole economy.
Fewer people will apply for loans and aggregate demand will be reduced. This will result in inflation
coming down. The RBI does the opposite to fight deflation. When the RBI reduces the repo rate,
banks are not legally required to reduce their own base rate.

The present repo rate is 4.90[112]%.[113]

Reverse repo rate (RRR)

As the name suggest, reverse repo rate is just the opposite of repo rate. Reverse repo rate is the
short term borrowing rate in which commercial bank Park their surplus in RBI The reserve bank uses
this tool when it feels there is too much money floating in the banking system. An increase in the
reverse repo rate means that the banks will get a higher rate of interest from RBI. As a result, banks
prefer to lend their money to RBI which is always safe instead of lending it to others (people,
companies, etc.) which is always risky.

Repo rate signifies the rate at which liquidity is injected into the banking system by RBI, whereas
reverse repo rate signifies the rate at which the central bank absorbs liquidity from the banks.
Currently, reverse repo rate is 3.35%.[114]
Statutory liquidity ratio (SLR)

Apart from the CRR, banks are required to maintain liquid assets in the form of gold, cash and
approved securities. Higher liquidity ratio forces commercial banks to maintain a larger proportion
of their resources in liquid form and thus reduces their capacity to grant loans and advances, thus it
is an anti-inflationary impact. A higher liquidity ratio diverts the bank funds from loans and
advances to investment in government and approved securities.

In well-developed economies, central banks use open market operations—buying and selling of
eligible securities by the central bank in the money market—to influence the volume of cash
reserves with commercial banks and thus influence the volume of loans and advances they can
make to the commercial and industrial sectors. In the open money market, government securities
are traded at market-related rates of interest. The RBI is resorting increasing to open market
operations in recent years. Generally, the RBI uses

1. Minimum margins for lending against specific securities.

2. A ceiling on the amounts of credit for certain purposes.

3. The discriminatory rate of interest charged on certain types of advances.

Direct credit controls in India are of three types:

1. Part of the interest rate structure, i.e., on small savings and provident funds, are
administratively set.

2. Banks are mandatory required to keep 18% of their NDTL (net demand and time liabilities) in
the form of liquid assets.[110]

3. Banks are required to lend to the priority sectors to the extent of 40% of their advances.

The share of net demand and time liabilities that banks must maintain in safe and liquid assets,
such as government securities, cash, and gold. Here it would be pertinent to mention the gold swap
of July 2014.[115][116][73] The present SLR is 18.00%.

Bank rate

Bank rate is defined in Section 49 of the RBI Act of 1934 as the 'standard rate at which RBI is
prepared to buy or rediscount bills of exchange or other commercial papers eligible for purchase'.
When banks want to borrow long term funds from the RBI, it is the interest rate which the RBI
charges to them. It is currently set to 4.65%.[110] The bank rate is not used to control money supply,
but penal rates continue to be linked to the bank rate. If a bank fails to meet SLR or CRR
requirements then the RBI will impose a penalty of 300 basis points above bank rate.

Liquidity adjustment facility (LAF)

Liquidity adjustment facility was introduced in 2000. LAF is a facility provided by the Reserve Bank
of India to scheduled commercial banks to avail of liquidity in case of need or to park excess funds
with the RBI on an overnight basis against the collateral of government securities.

RBI accepts applications for a minimum amount of ₹5 crore (US$630,000) and in multiples of ₹
50 million thereafter.

Cash reserve ratio (CRR)

CRR refers to the ratio of bank's cash reserve balances with RBI with reference to the bank's net
demand and time liabilities to ensure the liquidity and solvency of the scheduled banks. The share
of net demand and time liabilities that banks must maintain as cash with the RBI. The RBI has set
CRR at 4.5%[117] A 1% change in CRR affects the economy by ₹1.37 trillion.[117] An increase draw this
amount from the economy, while a decrease injects this amount into the economy. So if a bank has
₹2 billion (US$25 million) of NDTL then it has to keep ₹80 million (US$1.0 million) in cash with RBI.
RBI pays no interest on CRR.

Let's assume the economy is showing inflationary trends and the RBI wants to control this situation
by adjusting SLR and CRR. If the RBI increases SLR to 50% and CRR to 20% then bank will be left
only with ₹600 million (US$7.5 million) for operations. Now it will be very difficult for the bank to
maintain profitability with such a small amount of capital. The bank will be left with no choice but to
raise its interest rate which will make borrowing by its customers more costly. This will in turn
reduce the overall demand and hence prices will eventually come down.

Open market operation (OMO)

Open market operation is the activity of buying and selling of government securities in open market
to control the supply of money in banking system. When there is excess supply of money, central
bank sells government securities thereby sucking out excess liquidity. Similarly, when liquidity is
tight, RBI will buy government securities and thereby inject money supply into the economy.

On 23 March 2020, Reserve Bank of India infused ₹1 trillion (short scale) through term repo auction,
a massive OMOs (open market operations) purchase of government securities. The Reserve Bank is
monitoring the financial market conditions and liquidity situation in the economy as COVID-19
pandemic in India fears of a recession.[118]

Marginal standing facility (MSF)

This scheme was introduced in May 2011 and all the scheduled commercial bank can participate in
this scheme. Banks can borrow up to 2.5%[119] per cent of their respective net demand and time
liabilities. The RBI receives application under this facility for a minimum amount of ₹ 10 million and
in multiples of ₹ 10 million thereafter.

The important difference from repo rate is that bank can pledge government securities from its SLR
quota (up to one per cent). So even if SLR goes below 20.5%[120] by pledging SLR quota securities
under MSF, the bank will not have to pay any penalty. The marginal standing facility rate currently
stands at 4.25%.[110]

Qualitative tools

Margin requirements

Loan-to-value (LTV) is the ratio of loan amount to the actual value of asset purchased.

The RBI regulates this ratio so as to control the amount a bank can lend to its customers. For
example, an individual wants to buy a car using borrowed money and the car's value is ₹1 million. If
the LTV is set to 70% he can borrow a maximum of ₹700,000.

The RBI can decrease or increase to curb inflation or deflation respectively.

Selective credit control

Under this measure, the RBI can specifically instruct banks not to give loans to traders of certain
commodities e.g. sugar, edible oil, etc. This prevents the speculation/hoarding of commodities
using money from banks.

Moral suasion

Under this measure, the RBI try to persuade banks through meetings, conferences, media specific
things under certain economic trends. For example, when the RBI reduces repo rate, it asks banks to
reduce their base rate as well. Another example of this measure is to ask banks to reduce their non-
performing assets.

Limitations of monetary policy

In developing countries like India, monetary policy fails to show immediate or no results because
the following factors:

1. People do not employ alternative investment options. A large section of society still depends
on saving accounts, fixed deposits, Public Provident Fund for investment. Commercial banks
have large deposits. RBI is not the main or even prominent money supplier for these banks. So
whatever monetary action central bank takes has little or late impact on the economy.

2. Many people in rural areas are out of the banking net and whatever the RBI does, has no
impact on their financial activities.

3. Monsoon uncertainty adversely affects food production and thereby cause food inflation.
Monetary policy has no impact on food inflation.

RTGS and NEFT transactions' charges removal

RBI decided to remove charges on RTGS (Real Time Gross Settlement System) and NEFT (National
Electronic Funds Transfer).[121]

Regulation of variable pay of bank management

In November, RBI introduced a set of draft guidelines to regulate the variable pay of CEOs and top
management at private banks. The new rules are in line with the Sound Compensation Practices
issued by the Financial Stability Board in April 2009. The rules will apply to CEOs, wholetime
directors, and material risk takers at private banks, small finance banks and domestic executives of
foreign banks. As per the new rules at least 50% of the pay should be based on individual, unit,
business and firm wide performance evaluation which will be capped at 300% of the fixed pay. In
case of variable pay above 200% then at least 50% of this amount should be via non-cash
instruments. Share linked instruments are included as part of variable pay. Guaranteed bonus
should not be part of the compensation package except in case of joining bonus. The RBI also has
put clauses in place to clawback/malus in case of deteriorating performance. The bank shall
identify a representative set of conditions when the recovery clause for clawback /malus can be
invoked .[122]
Publications

A report titled "Trend and Progress of Banking in India" is published annually, as required by the
Banking Regulation Act, 1949. The report sums up trends and developments throughout the financial
sector.[123] Starting in April 2014, the Reserve Bank of India publishes bi-monthly policy updates.[124]

Committees set up by RBI

KV Kamath Committee

In August 2020, RBI set up a five membered Committee under the chairmanship of KV Kamath, the
former CEO of the ICICI bank in order to make recommendations on the norm for resolution of
COVID-19 related stressed loans. In order to restructure the loans up to ₹150 billion, the expert
Committee was tasked with coming up with a sector specific plan for successful resolution of the
stressed loans. The parameters were to include aspects related to leverage, liquidity and debt
serviceability.[125]

Attempt to caution customers against virtual currencies

In April 2018, RBI had banned banks from supporting crypto transactions after cases of fraud
through virtual currencies were reported. However, the Supreme Court had struck down the ban in
March 2020. Among the reasons cited was that cryptocurrencies were not illegal though
unregulated in India.[126]

Training Academies

Reserve Bank Staff College[127] Chennai, Reserve Bank of India Academy[128] Mumbai, and Reserve
Bank of India College of Agricultural Banking[129] Pune. The 3 training colleges of the Reserve Bank
