The Government of India has named Shirish Chandra Murmu as a new Deputy Governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), a crucial appointment in the nation's central banking system. His three-year term is scheduled to begin on October 9th, succeeding M. Rajeshwar Rao, whose tenure concludes the day prior.

The appointment was formally approved by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC). Murmu's background and experience are expected to bring a fresh perspective to the RBI's leadership as it continues to navigate complex monetary policy, financial regulation, and banking supervision.
 
The Reserve Bank of India operates with four Deputy Governors who work alongside the Governor to manage the country's currency, stability, and payment systems. Murmu will take up one of these key posts, contributing to the decision-making processes that impact the entire Indian economy, from inflation control to maintaining liquidity in the banking sector.
 
Financial analysts and banking experts will be closely watching his initial steps, particularly given the current global economic landscape and the RBI's ongoing focus on accelerating India's growth while managing inflationary pressures. His term commences at a significant time, reinforcing the central bank’s leadership structure for the years ahead.
