On June 6, 2025, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) implemented significant monetary policy changes to stimulate economic growth amid global uncertainties.

Key Highlights from the RBI's June 2025 Policy Update:

Repo Rate Cut: The RBI reduced the policy repo rate by 50 basis points, bringing it down to 5.50%. This marks the third consecutive rate cut in 2025, totaling a 100 basis point reduction since February.

Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) Reduction: The CRR was lowered by 100 basis points to 3%, to be implemented in four staggered tranches starting September 6, 2025. This move is expected to infuse approximately ₹2.5 trillion into the banking system, enhancing liquidity.

Policy Stance Shift: The RBI changed its policy stance from 'accommodative' to 'neutral', indicating a more data-dependent approach moving forward and signaling limited room for further rate cuts.

Inflation and Growth Outlook: With April's retail inflation at a six-year low of 3.16%, well below the RBI's 4% target, the central bank found room to act decisively. India's GDP grew 7.4% in Q1 2025, and the RBI projects a 6.5% expansion for the current fiscal year.

Market Reaction: The financial markets responded positively, with the Nifty 50 climbing 0.94% to 24,982.25 and the BSE Sensex increasing 0.9% to 82,163.22. Sectors like real estate, auto, and financials saw notable gains.

Additional Measures: The RBI also eased rules for small-ticket gold loans, aiming to improve credit access in rural and semi-urban areas.

Economists view this aggressive policy easing as a strategic effort to invigorate the economy while maintaining monetary stability. However, most analysts now expect no further rate changes through the end of the fiscal year in March 2026, unless new economic data supports renewed easing.

The Income Tax Department has released ITR-1 and ITR-4 forms for return filing.

ITR Filing Due Date Extended!

The CBDT has officially extended the due date for filing Income Tax Returns (ITRs) for AY 2025-26 from 31st July 2025 to 15th September 2025.
The extension comes in light of major revisions in the ITR forms and to allow sufficient time for system readiness and accurate TDS credit reflection.
