The Reserve Bank on Friday announced a raise in the interest rate caps on the diaspora's foreign currency deposits, in a move aimed at attracting more capital flows amid pressures on the rupee. Announcing the fifth bi-monthly monetary policy for the current financial year, RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das said it has been decided to increase the interest rate ceilings on Foreign Currency Non-Resident Bank deposits or FCNR (B) deposits as per tenors.

Expect new members in MPC to be appointed in time, says RBI Guv Das

Reserve Bank Governor Shaktikanta Das on Thursday said he expects new external members of the monetary policy committee to be appointed in time. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the annual Fibac event here, Das said the meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) -- scheduled to take place from October 7 -- can only take place when the members are in place. "New members obviously have to be appointed then only we can hold the meeting. It should happen. We expect the new members to be in place in time," the governor said. The four-year term of three external members -- Ashima Goyal, Jayanth Varma and Shashank Bhide -- is coming to an end on October 4. The appointments to the panel are made by the government. The MPC is chaired by the governor and has six members. The RBI has three representatives, including the governor, while the other three are external members. The members vote on the rate call before the resolution is made public, and the governor has the casting vo
