If the government uses the RBI's dividend transfer, deposit rates might be lowered: Ind-Ra



According to India Ratings and Research, the mega dividend would improve the fiscal condition of the federal government and may result in more expenditure, fiscal consolidation, or a mix of the two.


The government would get a dividend of Rs 2.11 lakh crore from the earnings made in 2023–2024, as determined by the RBI board last week.

The RBI's Rs 2.11 lakh crore dividend transfer is expected to relieve liquidity strain and lower bank deposit rates if the government spends the money, according to India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) on Thursday.
