What is the Reserve Bank of India?

It is the central bank of India. It is responsible for the issue of the Indian rupee and the regulation of the banking system. They also manage the country’s main payment systems and promote economic development. Here are some facts about this central bank. The Reserve is independent of the government, so it is not a “one-party state”. It has the power to change the exchange rate of the rupee.

The Reserve Bank of India is governed by a 21-member central board of directors. The governor is the executive head of the bank, and the other members are the deputy governors. There are two representatives of the finance ministry on the central board. The board also includes ten government-nominated directors and four directors who represent local boards. The board is composed of indigenous banks and co-operatives. The RBI is accountable to the government, the legislature, and the public.

The RBI is responsible for setting the overnight interbank lending rate (MIBOR), which is the benchmark for interest rate-related financial instruments in the country. It also formulates the country’s monetary policy, which is to ensure that credit flows to productive economic sectors. In addition, the RBI is responsible for managing foreign exchange under the Foreign Exchange Management Act of 1999, which allows it to facilitate payments and external trade. It is also responsible for regulating a number of industries in the financial sector.
