RBI Not Dependent on One Individual: Niti Aayog

New Delhi: Downplaying Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Urjit Patel’s resignation, Niti Aayog vice-chairman Rajiv Kumar on Tuesday said the central bank is a professional institution and is not dependent on one individual.

“RBI is such a professional institution, a long standing institution that the business will continue. It’s not as if it is dependent on any one particular individual,” Kumar said on the sidelines of 15th Global Inclusive Finance India summit here.

Patel resigned from his position on Monday after a tiff with the government on liquidity issue and matters related to RBI’s autonomy. The stand-off came out in public domain in October after RBI Deputy Governor Viral Acharya flagged the concern. However, Kumar expressed his faith in the RBI’s institutional capabilities and said the government will take necessary steps to maintain business as usual. (IANS)
