Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has reported a marginal increase in its workforce, closing the financial year 2024-25 with a total staff strength of 13,520 employees.

This marks a slight rise from 13,350 employees recorded in the previous year.

According to the RBI Annual Report, released on May 29, 2025, the central bank recruited 604 individuals during the calendar year 2024, focusing on workforce diversity and capacity building.

Breakdown of RBI Recruitment in 2024

The 604 new recruits were selected across various categories, reflecting RBI’s commitment to inclusive hiring:

  • General Category: 254 employees
  • Scheduled Castes (SC): 87 employees
  • Scheduled Tribes (ST): 40 employees
  • Other Backward Classes (OBC): 160 employees
  • Economically Weaker Sections (EWS): 63 employees
  • Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD): 90 employees
  • Ex-Servicemen: 54 employees

This recruitment drive aligns with RBI’s diversity and inclusion strategy, ensuring representation from various social and economic backgrounds.

Capacity Building and Training Initiatives

RBI has maintained a strong focus on employee development, with 1,116 officers trained domestically and 106 officers sent abroad for international training programs in FY25.

The Development Centre Workshop (DCW) initiative, designed to support officer induction, trained 357 new recruits, marking an increase from 290 in the previous year.
