He has extensive experience in finance and taxation at the State as well as the Central Government. As a part of his present assignment, he plays an instrumental role in tax policy formulation in respect of direct and indirect taxes.

Former RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das had served as the head of the central bank for six years and his term ended on December 10.

Restoring balance between growth and inflation under the RBI target is the most important task ahead of the new RBI governor. (ANI)
