The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Central Board is set to consider a record surplus transfer to the Government of India for FY26, with multiple reports citing an amount around ₹2.8–₹3.3 trillion. Business Standard reports that the board has approved (or is expected to approve) a transfer of ₹2.87 trillion (₹2.87 lakh crore) for FY26. The higher-than-previous transfer is attributed to stronger RBI income, gains from its foreign exchange operations, and an expansion in its balance sheet. Other reporting aligns on the overall direction and scale of the payout, including expectations that FY26 surplus transfer will exceed last year’s record dividend payout of about ₹2.7 trillion. Economists cited in one report expect the figure to land within the higher range, reflecting improved underlying financial performance at the RBI. The transfer is intended as a surplus/dividend payout to the Centre and is treated as a significant event for government receipts for FY26. The final approved amount depends on the board’s formal decision.
