The Central Board of the Reserve Bank of India approved the transfer of Rs 57,128 crore as surplus or dividend to the central government for accounting year 2019-20.
It is sharply lower by 67.5 per cent from Rs 1.76 lakh last year.
The RBI’s central board last year accepted the recommendations of the high-level panel, under the leadership of former RBI Governor Bimal Jalan.
This panel was formed to recommend ways to utilise RBI’s excess cash reserve and part transfer to the government.
