Accountability to Parliament, the supreme body of elected representatives, is very important in the context of the functioning of a central bank in a democracy. In India, the RBI is accountable to the Parliament through the Ministry of Finance and thus its communication to the Parliament is through the Ministry.
Whenever the views between the central bank and the Ministry converge, there should be no complexities. RBI is also summoned to give evidence before Parliamentary Committees, most often along with the officials of the Ministry of Finance. There are some occasions when the hearings of the committees are restricted to the RBI, generally when the Governor is called in.
