RBI to drain ₹1 trillion through bond sales to tackle surplus cash
India's central bank (RBI) plans to drain ₹1 trillion from the banking system by selling bonds. It is acting because surplus cash with banks hit a record high of about ₹11 trillion, after huge inflows through RBI's recent capital-raising windows. So banks will have less spare cash to park. If you borrow, watch whether your lender's rates shift.
