Government-RBI rift: Forcing central bank to give Rs 3.6 lakh cr from cash reserves would jeopardise inflation story

Firstpost  

Every year since 2014, the RBI has transferred all the profits it has made to the government It may the first time it has been tried in India, but ‘raiding’ the central bank’s balance sheet and financial resources to meet government spending needs is not uncommon. Now, finance minister Arun Jaitley wants to take Rs 3.6 lakh crore out of the RBI’s reserves. At end-June 30 2018 – the RBI’s financial year is July-June – this account head was Rs 10.463 lakh crore, up by 30 percent from the previous year’s Rs 8.95 lakh crore. The liabilities approach – which the RBI, the European Central Bank and many Eurosystem central banks take – creates financial buffers for managing general risks and revaluing unrealised gains on both domestic and foreign investments.
