RBI declares record ₹2.6T dividend to Government

The Reserve Bank of India is handing the government a record ₹2.69 trillion dividend for FY25, up 27% from last year’s ₹2.1 trillion and more than triple FY23’s ₹87,416 crore.

The Government of India owns the RBI completely. Like any company that distributes profits to its shareholders, RBI pays a dividend to its only shareholder — the government.
