RBI Dividend Bonanza Incoming? | Govt Set For Massive Cash Support

Big fiscal relief could soon be on the way for the government! Sources tell Business Today Television that the Reserve Bank of India may announce a bumper dividend payout of nearly ₹3 lakh crore or even more for FY27 - potentially 20% higher than last year’s record transfer. The RBI board is expected to meet later this week to finalise the surplus transfer. A bigger dividend from the central bank would give the government crucial fiscal breathing room at a time when rising crude oil prices, West Asia tensions, subsidy pressures and inflation concerns are mounting. The transfer could help the Centre avoid aggressive market borrowing while sticking to its fiscal deficit targets. Is RBI preparing to become the government’s biggest financial shock absorber once again?
