### Macro, Markets, and Mandates > "Unpacking the legal, monetary, and structural architecture of India's central bank, but one data layer at a time." 1. Hello. I'm Ankit Jain, and welcome to my notes on Reserve bank of India titled "I Love RBI" 2. Here I try to bring together various publications by RBI under the relevant topics, with reference links to them. Whether it is liquidity operations, derivative market shifts, or cross-border capital rules, I try to map different activities of RBI to have clarity at a glance. 3. The notes not analytical but explanatory, trying to simplify circulars, notifications and **tracking them to understand how policies evolve** ### Mission 1. The core motive of these notes is **structural synthesis**. Central bank updates are critical, and a single policy shift might trigger an RBI Notification, a SEBI Master Circular, a Governor's speech, and an emergency press release spread across three different years. 2. But these publications are not organised by topics. 3. This vault solves that. It brings together every disparate piece of financial legislation and central bank publication under its specific, dedicated macroeconomic topic. The site does not use categories/folders but tries to use internal links to link different notes/topics. 4. I have tried to avoid basic definitions, and but provided explanations as I try to bring them together under the roof of a topic. 5. So these notes have been created mainly using RBI website/publications. 6.
