Monetary Policy Committee
Individual Accountability (Section 45ZI)
Unlike many central banks where the policy decision is presented as a single institutional voice, India's MPC publishes each member's individual reasoning and vote.
- Section 45ZI(11) of the RBI Act, 1934 requires each MPC member to record a statement on the resolution, made public via Section 45ZL minutes 14 days after the meeting.
- This creates member-level accountability — voting records and reasoning are traceable over time, unlike opaque, collective central bank statements in some other jurisdictions.
- All six members (Governor, Deputy Governor, one RBI-nominated officer, three government-appointed external members) voted unanimously to hold the rate in this cycle, though their individual statements reveal some difference in emphasis (e.g., one member flagging upside inflation risk more strongly than others).
