The future of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Shaktikanta Das is uncertain as his term is set to expire on December 10.
No official announcement has been made regarding a potential extension or a successor for Das, who has led the central bank for six years.
The lack of clarity is leading to speculation about interest rate decisions, as market participants await guidance on the central bank's leadership.
The final decision on the appointment rests with the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet, which includes Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Affairs Minister Amit Shah.
Analysts are closely monitoring developments as the deadline approaches, as the outcome could have a significant impact on monetary policy and economic stability in India.
