Mumbai, 24 May 2025: The Board of Directors of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has approved a record dividend transfer of over 2.68 lakh crore rupees to the central government for the financial year 2024-25.

The Board reviewed both the domestic and global economic landscape and approved the RBI’s Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year. The surplus was calculated according to the revised Economic Capital Framework, which now requires the Contingent Risk Buffer (CRB) to be maintained between 5.50% and 7.50% of the central bank’s balance sheet.
For the fiscal year 2024-25, the CRB has been increased to 7.50%. This represents the highest dividend transfer by the RBI, aimed at strengthening government finances amid ongoing economic challenges.
