Today, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) released the Report titled “State Finances: A Study of Budgets of 2023-24”, an annual publication that provides information, analysis and an assessment of the finances of State governments for 2023-24 against the backdrop of actual and revised/provisional accounts for 2021-22 and 2022-23, respectively.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has noticed certain misleading advertisements enticing borrowers by offering loan waivers. These entities seem to be actively promoting many such campaigns in the print media as well as social media platforms. There are reports of such entities charging a service/legal fee for issuing ‘debt waiver certificates’ without any authority. It has also come to our notice that in certain locations, campaigns are being run by a few persons, which undermine the efforts of Banks in enforcing their rights over the securities charged to the Banks. Such entities are misrepresenting that dues to financial institutions including banks need not be repaid. Such activities undermine the stability of financial institutions and, above all, the interest of the depositors. It may also be noted that associating with such entities can result in direct financial losses.

The Reserve Bank of India today released on its website the results of the following Surveys: i) Consumer Confidence Survey (CCS) – November 2023 ii) Inflation Expectations Survey of Households (IESH) – November 2023 iii) Survey of Professional Forecasters on Macroeconomic Indicators–  Round  85rd The Survey results are based on the feedback received from the respondents to the Surveys and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Reserve Bank of India.
