<p><strong>Removal of the Rs. 2000 Note</strong></p>
<p>Demonetization of the Rs 2000 note, which the RBI announced on May 19, 2023, was one of the biggest decisions. The central bank offered a four-month opportunity for people to return their Rs 2000 notes, signaling a deliberate change in the dynamics of money, even if the circulation was not immediately stopped.</p>
<p><strong>Higher Risk Ratio for Unsecured Loans</strong></p>
<p>The RBI made a significant adjustment by raising the risk weight on unsecured consumer loans in response to worries over unsecured lending. The percentage of risk assigned to Non-Banking Finance Companies (NBFCs) was increased from 100% to 125%, representing a 25% increase. This preemptive action sought to address the issues brought on by the increase in unsecured loans.</p>
<p><strong>Enhanced Transaction Cap</strong></p>
<p>The RBI increased the Unified Payment Interface (UPI) transaction limit in 2023 in an effort to promote financial inclusion. In particular, the prior maximum of Rs 1 lakh per transaction was significantly surpassed with the rise to Rs 5 lakh for contributions to education and healthcare. The goal of this project was to make financial transactions easier and more substantial, especially in important industries.</p>
<p><strong>No Modification To The Repo Rate</strong></p>
<p>In contrast to prior adjustments, the RBI kept the repo rate at 6.5% for the whole year 2023. The Monetary Policy Committee of the RBI made this decision, which resulted in the repo rate being steady for the fifth time in a row. There hasn’t been a repo rate increase since February 2023. An important instrument in monetary policy, the repo rate has a significant impact on both borrowing rates and general economic circumstances.</p>
<p>The RBI’s dedication to adjusting to changing economic conditions and promoting financial stability in the banking industry is shown by these calculated actions.</p>
