Revisiting the Structure and Voting of the RBI's MPC

Imagine the RBI is like a school principal trying to keep inflation in check.

They have a committee, the MPC, that sets the main interest rate (repo rate).

The problem is, the committee only votes on this main rate, not on other important tools like how much money banks have to keep in reserve.

This can be confusing because other tools are decided separately by the governor, not the whole committee.

The article suggests the principal's rules should be updated so everyone on the committee votes on all the tools, making things clearer and improving communication.
