Talk:Reserve Bank of India

Objective
Objective: maintain public confidence in the system, protect depositors' interest and provide cost-effective banking services to the public.

I'm afraid Reserve Bank of India has miserably failed in this objective because 85% of people in India still do not have a bank account. --God and religion are distinct. 17:22, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Inflation or monetary targeting
Hey, could someone inform me whether RBI follows inflation or monetary targeting? I think it's monetary though I can't really tell much from the page. 137.132.3.9 (talk) 06:40, 30 October 2008

Whimsical promotion and rejection
Chief Justice of High court charged with corruption has finally been elevated to Justice of Supreme Court. Is it true?

Whimsical promotion, whimsical transfer and posting are the root cause of all types of irregularities, deficiencies, corruption, and mal-administration in the society. As long as we are unable to provide a reasoning based transfer and merit based promotion and as long as the wrong doers are not punished by court in the quickest timeframe we cannot imagine of stopping corrupt judges sitting at top post.

When most of the ministers in the government, most of the MPs and most of the MLAs at state level are corrupt how can they inculcate good practices among IAS officers, judges and other functional heads?

I have experienced when the top in any office or in the government is weak and corrupt, the bottom-line cannot be expected to remain honest and efficient.

Old proverb “survival for the fittest” no more holds good. Now a day’s survival is possible only for the person who is well versed in flattery to bosses, who can earn money through ill methods and share the same with his bosses. As such it is not astonishing that a higher corrupt chief justice of a high court is elevated to justice of Supreme Court.

The bitter truth is that there is no fool proof method of providing perfectly merit based promotion or seniority based promotion in any office. None of the promotion processes can ensure justice to all, justice to the organization and discomfort to none as long as the person responsible for carrying out the promotion process is dishonest and corrupt.

I have been advocating abolishing Interview panel in all promotion processes in all departments and all organizations because Interview is such a test where the candidate’s career can be easily spoiled by Interviewers. During interview, key role is played by elements like bribe, gift, sources, god fathers, flattery when Interviewer raises questions before the candidate and finally the marks is actually given by the interviewer. There is hardly any place for merit in the mind of Interview panel and this why whimsical promotions takes place and a reign of injustice spreads like cancer and is followed by inefficiency, frustration, depression and what not.

Last but not the least; our courts cannot deliver justice in decades. Justice delayed is justice denied. And when there is no hope of justice even from court, aggrieved person in promotion process is left with no alternative other than digesting the poison of injustice. It is an open secret in our society that victim is afraid of lodging complain in police department against any type of criminal.

RBI - Introduction (edit note)
The edit of April 13, 2009 introduced the paragraph "rbi was started with a paqid up share capital of 5 crore.on estd it took over the function of mgt of currency from govt of indai andpower of credit ctrol from imperial bank of india." The first sentence of this paragraph, was then helpfully capitalized on April 14. I could find no support for the first sentence even from the official page RBI History. I think the second sentence should probably read "The Bank began its operations by taking over from the Government the functions so far being performed by the Controller of Currency and from the Imperial Bank of India, the management of Government accounts and public debt." as stated here: RBI Brief History. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikirao (talk • contribs) 14:48, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

EDIT: the initial line on 300b reserve
Note: i deleted the line in intro about rbi controlling usd 300b. this is further referred to ndtv website instead of rbi website,

erve Bank of India (RBI) (Hindi: भारतीय रिज़र्व बैंक) is the central banking institution of India and controls the monetary policy of the Indian rupee ****as well as US$30,210 crore (US$302.1 billion) of currency reserves (in 2011 dollars as of 2011).[2]***

Revert new governor name in infobox
I made changes to update the announcement of the new governor of the RBI, which take effect on 5 September 2013. Until then, the current governor will complete his term of office.

While making the two changes for 23rd governor R Rajan, I noticed that the infobox for this article had been changed already. I don't think that is appropriate, as the current governor will remain in office according to all news reports, until 4 September 2013, the date of his term completion. I am going to change the governor in the RBI infobox back to D Subbarao as it was before, as there is nearly a month before the name change should be made. --FeralOink (talk) 23:15, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

An editor has created in good faith multiple articles for RBI elements, articles which I believe should be part of the parent article. I have placed them here for discussion and asked that editor to stop adding new ones pending the outcome of discussions here. Fiddle  Faddle  09:02, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

RBI has far too many regional offices which neither deserve mention on the RBI article page nor to they deserve a stand alone page. It is as good as having stand alone pages for the various branches of any bank for that matter. In fact I would call these stand alone articles as spam entries instead.-- PremKudva    Talk   12:01, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Merger proposal
It has been suggested that Reserve Bank of India: Working and Functions be merged into this article. I agree per WP:CFORK, as they are essentially duplicates. These are two on essentially the same subject, with the same scope. This article describes the working and functions of the Reserve Bank of India, as would be expected. It cannot exist without working and without functions, the working and functions of the RBI are essential to its being. Describing the working and functions describes the entity, except for a little about its physical location. I notice there has been no dissent to this merger since it was proposed over a year ago, so let's get on with it. Jack N. Stock (talk) 04:56, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
