Reserve Bank of India approves record 2.87 trillion rupee dividend to government
India's RBI approved a record 2.87 trillion rupee (≈$34bn USD) dividend payout to the government from surplus reserves, signalling strong central bank balance sheet and boosting fiscal space.
WHY IT MATTERS
Large RBI dividend reduces government borrowing pressure and can lower bond yields; may ease liquidity for banking system and support rupee stability amid recent capital outflows.
