RBI Sets Rs 50,000 Crore WMA Limit for Government in H2 2026-27
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has set the Ways and Means Advances (WMA) limit for the second half of the 2026-27 financial year at Rs 50,000 crore. This measure aims to assist the central government in managing temporary mismatches between receipts and payments. The RBI may initiate fresh market loan issuances once 75% of the WMA limit is utilized and retains the flexibility to revise the limit based on prevailing conditions in consultation with the government.
