The Minister Responsible for Citizenship and Minister Responsible for External Affairs of the Antigua and Barbuda government have been sued in the lawsuit filed by Choksi.

RBI has paid over Rs 50,000 crore every year with the exception of demonetisation year, when its income fell and expenditures rose because of printing of notes etc.
