RBI to transfer record surplus to govt: At 5.5%, central bank's contingency fund level falls to the lowest in at least 19 years

Firstpost  

An analysis of the annual reports of the Reserve Bank of India shows that at 5.5 percent, the central bank’s contingency fund reserves are presently at the lowest level in at least 19 years. It was based on this formula, the RBI decided to transfer Rs 1.76 lakh crore extra capital to the government, out of which Rs 52,637 crore was additional money as per the revised ECF. RBI’s contingency fund or realised equity level was at 9 percent during the fiscal year 2001. The RBI’s central board decided to maintain the realised equity level at 5.5 percent of the balance sheet and the resultant excess risk provisions of Rs 52,637 crore were made available to transfer to the government.
