Das, who completed his second term as RBI Governor in December 2024, will serve alongside Pramod Kumar Mishra, the current Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister since September 2019.
The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet approved Das’s appointment, stating that his tenure will be “co-terminus with the term of the Prime Minister or until further orders, whichever is earlier.”
