India's record diaspora inflows leave RBI facing potential $10.6 bn bill
India's record diaspora deposit drive brought in far more money than expected. This could leave the RBI facing a $10.6 billion cost. The huge inflows also create challenges for the central bank's liquidity management. For now, the RBI doesn't see the cost as a major concern because the final bill depends partly on how the dollar proceeds are invested.
Key Statutory Highlights

- The RBI could face a $10.6 billion cost as a result of these inflows.
