Introduction

This assignment will explore the multifarious nature of the RBI and its dynamic role in India’s economy in a simple and straightforward manner. Before diving into the intricacies of its functions, let us understand what kind of an institution it really is.

A central bank is an institution that is responsible for implementing monetary policy, managing the currency of a country and controlling the money supply. The Reserve Bank of India, abbreviated as RBI, is the central bank of India and the regulatory body managing India’s Banking System. It operates under the Ministry of Finance and the Government of India.

The primary purpose of the RBI is to conduct consolidated supervision of the financial sector in India. Furthermore, it formulates, implements, and monitors India’s monetary policy. The bank’s management objective is to maintain price stability and ensure that credit is flowing to productive economic sectors. Additionally, the RBI manages all foreign exchange in the country and acts as regulator and supervisor of the overall financial system.

The RBI’s role can be considered as “dynamic” because it is always active and cannot be stopped.Furthermore, due to an increasingly growing competitive market, geopolitical tensions, COVID-19 and the eagerness to grow into a developed country, it is important to understand the big decisions being made by the RBI in recent times such as demonetization.

Our entire nation’s functioning and economy revolves around the decisions made by this organisation, giving it utmost importance and dynamism in character. From the basic necessity of printing money to controlling the inflation and interest rates of the entire Indian market, the role of the RBI stretches all across the nation.

The Reserve Bank of India celebrated its 90th year anniversary on Monday, April 1, 2024.
It is the oldest central bank in Asia.

The Dynamic Role:

The Functions / Characteristics / Roles played by the RBI:

Role 1: Monetary Policy

One of the primary functions of the RBI, as mentioned in their preamble is to formulate, implement and monitor the Monetary Policy. In the preamble, RBI pledges “to have a modern monetary policy framework to meet the challenge of an increasingly complex economy.”

A monetary policy is a set of tools used by a nation’s central bank to control the overall money supply and promote economic growth through various strategies and methods. It helps shape a country’s economic landscape by influencing key factors like inflation and employment.

RBI needs to formulate a monetary policy to encourage economic growth while maintaining price stability. Its objective is to maintain a steady supply of credit to the economy’s productive sectors.

In more simple terms, an effective monetary policy is important to help the country’s economy grow, maintain stable prices in the market and extend loan facilities to banks, producers, etc.

The “Monetary Policy Report (Half-Yearly)” is published by the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Reserve Bank of India.

History:

In 2015, the Monetary Policy Framework Agreement was signed between the Reserve Bank of India and the Government of India. The amended RBI Act of 1934, allowed the Central Government to establish a six-member Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) to oversee inflation targeting in India to promote a robust economy.

The Monetary Policy Committee is entrusted with the task of fixing the benchmark policy rate (repo rate) required to maintain inflation within the specified target level. Alongside the RBI, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) is an important contributor to the monetary policy of our country.

Key Departments and Frameworks:

The monetary policy of India is made up from a complex structure of many instruments and frameworks. Some of the key departments and frameworks, involved in this process are as follows:

Flexible Inflation Targeting Framework (FITF): The framework introduces a strategy that aims to manage inflation through a specific target range set by the Government of India, in consultation with the Reserve Bank of India, once every five years.

The Monetary Policy Framework (MPF): The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) operates the Monetary Policy Framework of the country. The framework aims at setting the policy (repo) rate.
The Monetary Policy Process (MPP): The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) determines the policy interest rate required to achieve the inflation target. The Reserve Bank’s Monetary Policy Department (MPD) assists the MPC in formulating the monetary policy. The Financial Markets Operations Department (FMOD) operationalises the monetary policy through day-to-day liquidity management operations. The Financial Market Committee (FMC) meets daily to review the liquidity conditions so as to ensure that the operating target of monetary policy.

Now moving to the crux of RBI’s monetary policy, let us review HOW exactly RBI is able to achieve these complex objectives.

The RBI uses various policy instruments, such as interest rates, open market regulations, etc. that are used by monetary policy to regulate the money supply in the economy. How does RBI’s monetary policy affect our bank interest rates? How can RBI regulate the money supply also known as liquidity in the market? Let us explore the different instruments and tools RBI uses.

Interest Rates

The RBI monitors the macroeconomic environment of the country by considering a range of factors such as inflation, economic growth, global economic conditions, financial market indicators and accordingly sets policies. The RBI does this by adjusting or maintaining the Repo Rate. RBI announces reductions and additions in repo / reverse repo rate, as well as a slash in the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR).

Repo rate

Repo rate is defined as the rate at which the central bank of a country (in this case RBI) lends money to commercial banks in the country, in the event of a shortfall or surplus of funds. It is used to control inflation.

For example, in the event of inflation, central banks increase the repo rates, disincentivizing banks from borrowing funds from the central bank. Consequently, the banks increase their interest rates on personal loans, EMI, etc and this ultimately reduces the money supply in the economy and helps in reducing inflation.

In simple words, commercial banks such as SBI take loans from the RBI. RBI sets their interest rate for these banks (repo rate). We take loans from commercial banks, who set their interest rate according to the repo rate, and thus this affects our interest rate and ability to acquire money. (take loans)

The current repo rate of India is 6.25% as per the latest update on February 2025.

Reverse Repo Rate:

This is the rate at which commercial banks can park their excess funds with the RBI. An increase in the reverse repo rate can encourage banks to deposit more money with the RBI instead of lending it out, which can help to reduce inflation. Therefore, an increase in the reverse repo rate will decrease the money supply and vice-versa, other things remaining constant.

In summary, we have understood how the RBI uses various monetary instruments to adjust the interest rates ultimately fulfilling their role of formulating a monetary policy.

Let us now explore how the RBI adjusts the “money supply” in the market.

Money Supply / Liquidity

Another important aspect of RBI’s role in the monetary policy is to take measures to provide liquidity in the banking system by allowing banks to avail credit from the RBI. The RBI has allowed direct access of liquidity to Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFC), to reduce the stress on this sector. Furthermore, it has allowed banks to use collaterals and avail loans at the repo rate.

The RBI uses a combination of high reserve requirements and tight open market operations. By raising the CRR, it gains direct control of the amount of credit available in the country, thus controlling the money supply. If RBI wants to increase liquidity in the economy, it can reduce reserve requirements consequently increasing the credit, making it easier for businesses to take loans and invest in new projects.

Lastly, the RBI also implements new regulations and guidelines for the banking and financial sector and even government intervention from time to time to control the money supply in the economy.

What are these “Open Market Operations” (OMO’s)?

An Open Market Operation (OMO) is the buying and selling of government securities/bonds in the open market by RBI. When the central bank wants to increase liquidity into the monetary system, it will buy government securities in the open market. This way it provides commercial banks with liquidity / money. In contrast, when it sells securities, it reduces liquidity. Thus, the central bank indirectly controls the money supply and influences short-term interest rates.

What are NBFCs?

NBFCs (Non-Banking Finance Companies) are registered under the Companies Act and involved in various financial activities like lending, investing in securities, leasing, insurance.

They offer various banking services but do not have a banking licence. Examples: Bajaj Finserv, Muthoot Finance Ltd, etc

What is Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR)?

The Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) is a proportion of cash that all banks MUST keep on deposit with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The RBI determines this proportion, which is changed by the central bank on a regular basis. An increase in the CRR can decrease the amount of money that banks have available to lend, which can reduce inflation.

The current CRR is 4%

Other Key Economic Indicators and Rates used by RBI:

[Table as of April 2025]

Indicator	Current rate
CRR	4%
SLR	18.0%
SDF	6.25%
MSF	6.5%
Bank rate	6.5%
Reverse repo rate	3.35%
Repo rate	6.25%
GDP forecast	6.5% FY24

Types of Monetary Policy

There are 2 major types of Monetary Policy introduced by the RBI depending on the current macroeconomic situation.

Expansionary Monetary Policy: This kind of monetary policy is used when RBI wants to stimulate economic activity. It involves lowering interest rates, making borrowing more affordable, encouraging spending and investments to keep the economy flourishing. The increased money supply boosts consumer demand, business and therefore economic growth.
Contractionary Monetary Policy: This type of monetary policy is used to prevent excessive inflation. RBI raises interest rates to make loans more expensive and sells government bonds therefore reducing spending and investment. The goal is to slow down the economy.

In conclusion of the point about RBI’s role in monetary policy, it is evident that one of the major roles of the RBI is to constantly implement and monitor the Monetary policy for the country using the various rates, tools and indexes.

Role 2: Currency Management

Another very important role of the RBI, is issuance of currency. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is in charge of the country’s currency design, manufacture, distribution, and overall management. It aims to ensure that the state has a sufficient supply of clean and legitimate notes. Its goal is to lower the risk of counterfeiting.

Economists are often posed with the question of why the central bank cannot simply print unlimited money. In this section, we will explore how the RBI carries out the complex process of issuing currency and managing it for the country.

To truly understand the way money is printed, we must go back to Mespotanain times from 6000 BC, back to the barter system.

Barter is a system where goods are exchanged without the use of money. This system however, had many limitations due to the inability to store goods for long periods of time, etc. Hence, the use of coins was introduced.

For many years, coins were used at their material values (silver and gold), however soon this too posed many problems for large economies. This led to the introduction of paper currency by the British during the World War in 1916. In 1935 RBI established and by 1956, India implemented the Minimum Reserve system, which is the basis of how RBI issues currency.

Minimum Reserve System:

Under the minimum reserve system, RBI has to maintain a minimum of 200 crore. Out of this 200 crore, 115 crore must be stored in the form of Gold / Gold bullion, while the remaining 85 crore is stored as foreign currency.

Beyond this fixed amount, the RBI is allowed to print, with permission of the central government, any amount of currency as per the requirements.

How are these requirements decided?

As the GDP of a country grows due to the multiplier effect of one person selling to another, the Reserve Bank of India, accordingly prints enough money to match this growth.

The number of currency notes to be printed is calculated as the summation of New Account Stock (N) and Replacement demand following the destruction of soiled notes (R) subtracted from the projected GDP (G). This figure does not include the extra 5% emergency reserve that is required to be added later on.

Who and How?

In terms of Section 22 of the Act, the Reserve Bank has the sole right to issue banknotes in India. Section 25 states that the design, form and material of bank notes shall be such as may be approved by the Central Government after consideration of the recommendations made by the Central Board of RBI.

According to the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934, the Department of Currency Management is in charge of managing the Reserve Bank’s basic currency management tasks. The main aspects of currency management are the issuance of coins and notes and the removal of invalid currency from circulation.

Four printing presses print and supply banknotes. These are at Dewas in Madhya Pradesh, Nasik in Maharashtra, Mysore in Karnataka, and Salboni in West Bengal. Four coin mints are in operation: Mumbai in Maharashtra, Noida in Uttar Pradesh, Kolkata, and Hyderabad.

Roles in Currency Management:

Banknote Design and Quality Assurance: The Currency Management Department oversees the design and quality of banknotes, in collaboration with the government to ensure that currency notes have robust security features and maintain the public’s trust in the currency.
Predicting and Meeting Currency Demand: Anticipating the demand for banknotes and coins through meticulous forecasting techniques, considering economic growth, inflation, and consumer behaviour to ensure an optimal currency supply
Efficient Distribution and Currency Circulation: Ensuring the smooth distribution of banknotes and coins across the country by delivering fit currency to banks, currency chests, and small coin depots while removing unfit notes and outdated coins from circulation
Implementation of RBI (Note Refund) Rules: The Currency Management Department enforces the RBI (Note Refund) Rules, 2009, outlining the procedures for exchanging and refunding damaged or mutilated currency notes.

Current Denominations:

Coins: 50 paise, one rupee, two rupees, five rupees, ten rupees, and 20 rupees.

Banknotes: Paper currency or banknotes are issued in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 2,000 rupees (recently being withdrawn)

Counterfeit Management:

The RBI is combats counterfeit notes in the following ways:

Continual upgrades of banknote security features
Public awareness campaigns to educate citizens to help prevent circulation of forged or counterfeit notes
Installation of note sorting machines

Recent Developments in Currency Management: Time Graph

In conclusion of RBI’s role in Currency Management, we have learned that a very important role played by the RBI is controlling money supply, assuring legal tender safety, printing money and a lot more.

Role 3: Banker to GOI and Banker to Banks

RBI also plays a crucial role in being a banker to the government of India, state banks and commercial banks.

Banker to the Government and State Government:

The Reserve Bank of India is responsible for managing all the money transactions of the Government. Moreover, the Government also can borrow money from the Reserve Bank of India when necessary. The RBI advises the Government on financial matters. Lastly, the central bank gives temporary loans to the government and manages the public debt whenever necessary.

Under the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934, the Central Government entrusts the Reserve Bank with all its money, exchange, consignment, and banking transactions in India to manage its public debt. The Government also deposits its monetary balances to the Reserve Bank.

On behalf of the government, it collects the receipts of the funds and makes the payment. It is also responsible for advising the government on financial and banking subjects.

Issue of Banking License:

A very important role of the RBI is the issue of Banking Licences to commercial banks. Any bank that has to obtain the licence for various banking activities has to obtain the licence from the RBI as per section 22.

Banker to Commercial Banks:

It provides credit to banks in times of need and other banks retain their deposits with the RBI. The RBI also advises the commercial banks on monetary matters. Lastly, as covered earlier, the bank specifies the interest rates, etc for commercial banks.

Role 4: Financial Regulation and Inspection:

Another important role of the RBI is to oversee the financial activities in the country and ensure that everything happens in an orderly manner.

India’s banking system is regulated by the RBI and the Banking Regulation Act, 1949.

The Reserve Bank of India regulates banks through inspections carried out at bank locations, off-site surveillance, licensing, setting capital adequacy norms, conducting audits, etc. The RBI is also the main body responsible for issuing regulatory guidelines and directives.

It is worth noting, that the RBI regulates and inspects such financial activities alongside the organisation known as SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and some other international organisations

Tools and Instruments used by RBI to regulate:

As discussed earlier, the cash reserve ratio (CRR) and statutory reserve ratio (SRR) are two such instruments used by the RBI to oversee financial institutions. Furthermore, RBI also imposes exposure limits. RBI also carries out its role through “Provisioning”. Such provisions include provisions for NPAs , standard assets, etc. Lastly, RBI carries out priority sector lending.

Exposure Limits

Through exposure limits, lending to a single borrower is limited to 20% of the bank’s capital funds. Lending to group borrowers is limited to 25% of the bank’s eligible capital base at all times.

Provisions for Non-performing assets (NPAs) are categorised as substandard, doubtful, or loss based on the duration of non-payments. An NPA is an asset which has no interest or principal payments for more than 90 days. These different categories are given different provisions on the loan amount as substandard, doubtful and loss assets.

Priority Sector Lending

The priority sector consists of micro- and small enterprises, and initiatives related to agriculture, education, housing and lending to low-earning or less privileged groups (classified as “weaker sections”). Weaker sections include specific castes and tribes that have been assigned that categorization, including small farmers.

In conclusion of the RBI’s role in regulating the financial market, RBI makes use of a variety of tools, strict rules and regulations on credit facilities and set rates that financial institutions must follow to ensure the smooth running of the economy.

Role 5: Foreign Exchange Management:

Last but not the least, the final role of RBI we will be understanding is the management of foreign exchange market and forex reserves. This directly impacts our exchange rate stability, and is therefore a crucial role of the RBI.

The foreign exchange market is the market where the currency of one country is exchanged for that of another country and where the rate of exchange is determined.

Importance:

It is the function of the RBI to maintain the value of the rupee in the global economy. It does so by acting as the custodian of foreign exchange reserves in the country. It maintains enough reserves to battle against fluctuations.

The RBI manages the Foreign Exchange Management Act of 1999. Its objective is to facilitate external trade and payment and promote orderly development and maintenance of foreign exchange market in India.

Regulation of Foreign Exchange Market, Government Securities Market, and Money Market

The RBI is in charge of regulating the Indian foreign exchange market. Through the provisions of the FEMA Act 1999, RBI monitors and controls the foreign exchange market. The central and state governments’ trade securities are governed by the RBI. The RBI Act of 1934 gives it the authority to regulate this. The RBI has the authority to regulate short-term and highly liquid debt securities under the terms of the RBI Act of 1934.

Foreign Exchange Reserve Management

Coming to the most important aspect, the RBI is in charge of looking after India’s foreign exchange reserves.

The RBI Act of 1934 contains legal provisions relating to the administration of foreign exchange reserves. Under these provisions, the RBI is allowed to invest these foreign exchange reserves in the following instruments:

Place a deposit with international banks.
Place a deposit with overseas commercial banks
Instruments of Debt such as bonds

The foreign exchange reserve of our country involves:

Foreign Currency Assets (FRAs)
Special Drawing Rights (SDRs)
Gold

RBI is the guardian of these foreign exchange reserves.

As of 2024, the forex reserve are shown in the table below:

Component	Amount (in million USD)
Total Reserves	654,271
Foreign Currency Assets	557,186
Gold Reserves	74,391
Special Drawing Rights (SDR)	18,262
Reserve Position in IMF	4,431

Maintaining exchange rate stability:

RBI also plays a crucial role in maintaining exchange rate stability in the economy. RBI intervenes in the market by buying or selling foreign currencies to maintain the stability of the rupee.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) manages and controls foreign exchange in India through various mechanisms and regulations. Here are some of the key ways in which the RBI manages and controls foreign exchange:

Exchange Rate Management: The RBI intervenes in the foreign exchange market through buying and selling of foreign exchange to stabilise the rupee’s value and prevent excessive volatility.
Capital Account Management: The RBI regulates capital flows into and out of the country to maintain stability in the foreign exchange market. It imposes restrictions on certain types of capital transactions, such as foreign direct investment (FDI), foreign portfolio investment (FPI), external commercial borrowings (ECB), and overseas remittances.
Monitoring and Reporting: The RBI requires individuals, businesses, and financial institutions to report foreign exchange transactions and holdings through various reporting mechanisms. This helps the RBI to monitor and track foreign exchange flows in the economy.
Authorised Dealers: The RBI authorised banks and financial institutions to act as authorised dealers in foreign exchange. These authorised dealers facilitate foreign exchange transactions for individuals and businesses in compliance with RBI regulations.
Regulatory Framework: The RBI issues regulations, guidelines, and circulars related to foreign exchange management to ensure compliance with foreign exchange laws and regulations. It periodically reviews and updates the regulatory framework to adapt to changing economic conditions and global developments.

Overall, the RBI plays a crucial role in managing and controlling foreign exchange in India to ensure stability in the currency market, promote orderly capital flows, and safeguard the country’s external sector.

Conclusion:

From the various roles explored in this assignment, we have established that the RBI plays a dynamic role in the functioning of the Indian economy. Firstly, we inferred that the RBI is an indispensable institution in our country with numerous complex responsibilities. In fact, during the duration of this assignment, I conducted a small experiment by reviewing newspapers from the last three months, such as The Economic Times, The Hindu, and The Times of India. Almost every single day, there was a mention of the RBI. A few such articles have been pasted in this assignment.

Secondly, by examining the various functions and objectives of the RBI, we learned that it governs monetary policy through various economic instruments and rates, utilising both qualitative and quantitative measures. Depending on the situation of the country, the RBI implements two different types of monetary policies. This function is crucial for maintaining price stability, fostering economic growth, and controlling inflation.

Thirdly, we explored the RBI’s role in printing Indian currency and the various systems it has in place to support this process. The minimum reserve system and meticulous use and prediction of the country’s GDP illustrate how technically advanced the RBI must be to determine the requirements for printing currency.

Furthermore, we understood the RBI’s role as banker to the government, handling its transactions, storing its funds, and providing advice. Additionally, the RBI acts as a banker to commercial banks through the instruments previously established.

An unignorable aspect of the RBI is its responsibility to oversee and regulate the financial and economic activities across the country. Given the vast population and the infinite number of transactions and banks, the RBI must have robust regulations and measures in place to ensure the smooth functioning of our economy and banking system.

Last but definitely not least, managing the value of the Indian rupee relative to the dollar is a major role of the RBI. Foreign exchange management through open market operations, bonds, purchases, and foreign direct investment (FDI) is vital for building the strength of the country and its economy.

In conclusion, the RBI undertakes numerous critical tasks and performs them with technical prowess and accuracy. The RBI undoubtedly plays a dynamic and vital role in India.
