Seeking Information from RBI
The Reserve Bank of India has an established communication policy. Under this, the Reserve Bank of India regularly releases information and data on Indian economy, banking and finance. It releases the information and data at regular periodicity – daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, six monthly and annually. In addition, it also releases information, as and when required, through occasional publications, such as, studies and reports.
The Reserve Bank also places in public domain its instructions relating to banking, finance, foreign exchange and other related subjects. Further, the Reserve Bank also disseminates information, especially of general interest, through daily press releases.
The information and data routinely released by the Reserve Bank are available on its website (www.rbi.org.in)
The details of information that is already available from the Reserve Bank of India are:
Policy Statements of the Governor, RBI
The policy Statements of the Governor, Reserve Bank of India provide a framework for the monetary, structural and prudential measures that are taken from time to time against the background of an assessment of macroeconomic and monetary developments. Up to 2004, the Annual Policy Statement was announced in April/May every year and was followed by a Mid-Term Review in October/November. In order to provide a distinctive focus on monetary policy and developmental policies, the format of presentation of the policy Statement was modified in the Annual Policy Statement of April 2005. The Statement now consists of two parts: Part I. Annual Statement on Monetary Policy for the Year; and Part II Annual Statement on Developmental and Regulatory Policies for the Year. There is a Mid-term Review of the Annual Policy Statement in October, as in the past, covering both Part I and Part II of the Statement. In addition, a First Quarter Review of Part I of the Statement in July and a Third Quarter Review in January is scheduled every year. The quarterly reviews of monetary policy provide the opportunity for structured communication with markets on a more frequent basis while retaining the flexibility to take specific measures as the evolving circumstances warrant.
Annual Publications
Annual Report
The annual report of the Reserve Bank is the most important document released every year in late August. It is the statement of the Board of Directors on the state of the economy, the working of the Reserve Bank and on the balance sheet of the Reserve Bank.

The annual report is a statutory document relating to the financial year of the Reserve Bank (July to June) and is released in August.

This is also a statutory publication produced by the central bank. Presented annually, this document is a review of the policies for and performance of the financial sector for the preceding year. The publication, covering period from April to March, is generally released around November/December.
Report on Currency and Finance
This annual document is presented by the staff of the central bank. Since 1998-99 the Report dwells on a particular theme and presents a detailed economic analysis of the issues related to the theme. While the focus of the Report is on the policy approach, issues and challenges relevant to India, the various Chapters present these developments against the recent theoretical developments and the accumulated cross-country empirical evidence. Since the publication is released around December, it also serves the purpose of presenting a mid-year review of the economy.
Handbook of Statistics on the Indian Economy
This publication is a major initiative by the Reserve Bank aimed at improving data dissemination by providing a useful storehouse of statistical information at one place.

Up to 2004, the publication was brought out annually along with the Annual Policy Statement in April/May. However, from 2005, these are published on a quarterly basis a day before the Annual Policy Statement and its Mid-Term/Quarterly Reviews.
Quarterly Statistics on Deposits and Credit of Scheduled Commercial Banks
This data-oriented publication gives data on deposits and credit of scheduled commercial banks for each quarter. The data compiled from bank returns are presented center-wise, state-wise, population group-wise and bank group-wise.
