The primary objective of monetary policy is to maintain price stability. Price stability is a necessary precondition to sustainable growth.
In 2016, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Act, 1934 was amended to provide a statutory basis for the implementation of the flexible inflation targeting framework.
The amended RBI Act also provides for the inflation target to be set by the Government of India, in consultation with the Reserve Bank, once in every five years. Accordingly, the Central Government has notified 4(+-2 per cent ie lower limit 2% and upper limit 6%) Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation as the target for the period from 2016 to 2021.
The targeted inflation is based on the recommendation of Urijit Patel committee.
