The amount is fixed on the basis of ECF

The transferable surplus surplus is determined, according to the recommendations of the Specialist Committee headed by Bimal Jalan to review the existing economic capital structure of RBI, on August 26, 2019, on the basis of ECF adopted by the Reserve Bank.

The committee recommended that the risk provision under contingent risk buffer (CRB) should be maintained within the range of 6.5 to 5.5 percent of RBI bookkeeping.

According to the latest report of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the foreign exchange reserve of the country, or foreign exchange reserves of the country, has increased by $ 1.98 billion to 688.13 billion in the week ended on April 25. This is the eighth consecutive week when an increase in the reserve of India has been recorded.

However, this figure is still slightly below the $ 704.88 billion high of September 2024, but seeing the trend, it is clear that India’s foreign currency positions are getting stronger again.

FCA’s biggest contribution

The biggest contribution behind this edge was Foreign Currency Assets (FCA), which has increased by $ 2.17 billion to $ 580.66 billion. Note that in addition to dollars, FCA also includes other currencies like euro, pounds and yen and their valuation also leads to fluctuations.

However, this week, gold reserves have fallen by $ 207 million and now it has come to $ 84.36 billion. Apart from this, SPECIAL Drawing Rights (SDRS) related to IMF increased by $ 21 million to $ 18.58 billion, and India’s reserve position in IMF also increased by $ 2 million to $ 4.51 billion.

Center has no borrowings

RBI also said that the central government has no borrowing of them, but the loans given to the states have declined. This has come down from 36,792 crore to 22,324 crore. If we talk about from March 2025 till now, then there has been a total increase of $ 19.80 billion in the Forex Reserve of India i.e. 1.67 lakh crores. FCA, Gold, SDR and IMF Positions have contributed positively in this. If you look throughout the year, since 26 April 2024, there has been an increase of Rs 5.61 lakh crore ($ 50.21 billion). This in itself shows India’s external economic strength.

100 and 200 Notes News: Whenever people go to withdraw cash from ATMs, most of the people withdraw only 500 rupee notes. After taking 500 notes, people often have to wander for change. But now to reduce the difficulties of the people, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Monday asked banks to ensure that Rs 100 and 200 rupee notes should also come out of the ATM.

People should not have problems in small taking- RBI

The central bank said that it is necessary to do so to increase the availability of these notes for the public. Banks and white label ATM operators (WLAAO) will have to implement this instruction in a phased manner. The ATM operated by non-banking institutions is called ‘White Label ATM’ (WLA).

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said in a circular, “It has been decided to increase public access to the bank notes of the often used price class that all banks and white label ATM operators (WLAAOs) will ensure that Rs 100 and 200 rupee notes are also released from their ATMs on a regular basis.”

100-200 notes demand more

According to the circular, by September 30, 2025, 75 per cent ATMs (Automated Taylor Machines) should be removed from at least one cassette, bank notes of Rs 100 or Rs 200 should be withdrawn. After this, by 31 March, 2026, bank notes of Rs 100 or Rs 200 should be withdrawn from at least one cassette in 90 percent ATMs.

On behalf of RBI, banks have been asked to increase the availability of more than 100 and 200 rupee notes in ATMs. This order must be applied to both banks and White Label ATM operators (WLAO) in a sequential manner. After this order, there is a stir among the banks and officers of the country. After this order, banks will have to work hard in ATMs for 100 and 200 rupee notes.
