Dear Governor,
Congratulations.
You are not the first governor to get an extension but on your way to the second term, you have broken quite a few records.
When you complete your second term in December 2024, you will be only the second governor (after Sir Benegal Rama Rau) in the RBI’s 86-year history to be at the helm for at least six years. Incidentally, has any RBI governor got a three-year extension in one shot? An extension coming almost one-and-a-half months ahead of the expiry of the current term is also something that probably hasn’t ever happened in the past.
