Who took over as the Governor of the Reserve Bank of India in December 2024?
Sanjay Malhotra
The question asks who took charge as Governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in December 2024.
Sanjay Malhotra assumed office as the 26th Governor of the RBI in December 2024, having earlier served as Revenue Secretary in the Union Ministry of Finance.
He succeeded Shaktikanta Das, the 25th Governor, whose extended tenure concluded in December 2024, so Das was the outgoing, not incoming, Governor.
Raghuram Rajan (23rd Governor, 2013–2016) had demitted office years earlier and was not in the running for a 2024 appointment.
Urjit Patel (24th Governor, 2016–2018) had resigned before the end of his term in 2018, so he too does not fit December 2024.
The RBI Governor heads monetary policy, currency issuance and banking regulation, making this a key central appointment.
