Mumbai: The government has appointed Swaminathan Jankiraman, the managing director of the State Bank of India (SBI), as the Deputy Governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), an official notification said.

The appointment is for a three-year period from the date of joining the post, or until further orders.

A panel headed by the Cabinet Secretary conducted interviews with shortlisted candidates on June 1 to fill the position of RBI Deputy Governor, which became vacant with the completion of MK Jain's extended tenure on Tuesday.
