Oppositions raised question on RBI's lat | NEW DELHI / AGARTALA, Dec 22 (TIWN): Despite much criticism, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has failed to give a credible account of the new notes supplied to the public.In its latest press release on Wednesday, the RBI said it had sent out for distribution to the public 22.6 billion notes of various denomination worth Rs 5.93 lakh crore. But the break-up given, taken with its earlier statements, shows that the RBI's latest update is a mathematical impossibility. Indeed, the gap between what the apex bank claims it has disbursed and what, according to its own earlier numbers, it could possibly have disbursed, has now grown to over Rs 66,000 crore. This is assuming that 10 per cent of the high denomination notes distributed are of Rs 500 variety. But even if we assume the highly unlikely scenario that all the notes supplied by the RBI were of Rs 2,000 denomination, the math does not add up -- the shortfall would be around Rs 34,000 crore. | 22-Dec-2016 |
