NEW DELHI: With inflation staying above the upper tolerance limit for nine straight months, the Reserve Bank will now have to submit a report to the central government detailing reasons for the failure to contain prices and remedial steps to rein in the price rise.
The Reserve Bank of India Act mandates that in the case of the inflation target not being met for three consecutive quarters, the central bank has to submit a report to the government explaining the reasons and detail the remedial actions it will be taking to check the price rise.
