The Reserve Bank of India serves as India’s central bank.

The Claim

The Reserve Bank of India is the central bank of India.

The Short Version

Official and independent sources consistently establish that the Reserve Bank of India is India’s central bank. The similarly named Central Bank of India is a separate commercial bank and does not create a factual conflict.

Caveats

  • Do not confuse the central-bank role with the commercial bank named Central Bank of India.
  • Wikipedia and educational-answer sites are unnecessary because authoritative official sources directly establish the fact.
