Speaking during a briefing on RBI’s monetary policy, the central bank’s Deputy Governor, R Gandhi, said that the exercise had to be carried out in secrecy. He stated that efforts were and to minimise the difficulties faced by people and almost 4 lakh crore of currency was supplied to the people post 10 November.
The withdrawal of currency will have no impact on the RBI’s balance sheet, and hence there is no occasion for a special dividend, Gandhi added.
