<h1>India Considers Raising Rs. 50,000 Crore Investment Cap to Reduce Interest Costs on Surplus Government Funds.</h1> The Government of India, in collaboration with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), has an arrangement to invest any cash surplus exceeding the minimum balance up to Rs. 50,000 crore in securities. Surpluses beyond this remain idle. Given the increase in government expenditure, there is a consideration to revise this investment cap to utilize surplus funds more effectively, thereby reducing net interest expenditure. This information was provided by a government official in response to a parliamentary inquiry.
