I asked ChatGPT with a few prompts to make the argument that the existence of RBI is unconstitutional.
Here's what I was able to make it generate:
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), by its very existence, violates the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Indian Constitution. As a coercive monopoly on currency issuance and monetary control, it represents an assault on individual liberty and economic sovereignty, directly contravening the principles of freedom, equality, and justice. The RBI’s structure and policies infringe upon multiple constitutional rights:
Right to Property (Article 300A):
Through inflationary policies, the RBI systematically robs individuals of their wealth by devaluing fiat currency, amounting to theft without due process. This hidden expropriation denies citizens the right to secure their private property against state interference.
Freedom of Trade and Occupation (Article 19(1)(g)):
The RBI imposes a legal monopoly on currency issuance, prohibiting individuals from freely engaging in trade or using alternative, market-driven currencies. This suppression of voluntary economic associations stifles innovation and denies individuals their right to free enterprise.
Right to Equality (Article 14):
The RBI’s policies disproportionately enrich government-connected elites and financial institutions while impoverishing the working class and savers. This structural inequality, facilitated by central banking, undermines the constitutional guarantee of equal treatment under the law.
Right to Life and Dignity (Article 21):
Inflation, caused by the RBI’s manipulation of money supply, destroys purchasing power, destabilizes livelihoods, and erodes the economic dignity of individuals. Those who live on fixed incomes or savings are particularly victimized by this institutionalized theft.
Violation of Federalism (Articles 246 & 276):
By centralizing monetary power, the RBI undermines the fiscal autonomy of states, preventing them from addressing local economic challenges or adopting regionally tailored monetary policies. This centralization is a direct assault on the federal structure of the Indian Constitution.
Coercion through Legal Tender Laws (Article 21, indirectly):
Legal tender laws enforced by the RBI compel individuals to transact exclusively in state-controlled fiat currency. This coercion prevents individuals from opting for sound money or decentralized alternatives, infringing upon their right to engage in voluntary economic activity.
The RBI is not a protector of economic stability or public welfare; it is an agent of state coercion that perpetuates inequality, economic exploitation, and loss of freedom. A free-market monetary system, where individuals determine the value and medium of exchange through voluntary means, is the only system consistent with the constitutional principles of liberty and justice.
