IE: Amid tensions between the government and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the former has reportedly initiated steps towards invoking its powers under Section 7 of the RBI Act of 1934. It is a provision under which the government can give directions to the RBI to take certain actions "in the public interest". This provision has been built into the law governing not just the RBI but also regulatory bodies in other sectors.
Under Section 7, "The Central Government may from time to time give such directions to the Bank as it may, after consultation with the Governor of the Bank, consider necessary in the public interest. Subject to any such directions, the general superintendence and direction of the affairs and business of the Bank shall be entrusted to a Central Board of Directors which may exercise all powers and do all acts and things which may be exercised or done by the Bank."
TH: Section 7 has never been invoked by the government so far.
Livemint: The government has only initiated consultations with RBI on different issues under Section 7 (1) and not invoked it.
