Reserve Bank of India has got a new deputy governor in Mr Harun Rashid Khan.

The four deputy governors of RBI thus are Mr Khan, Dr K.C. Chakrabarty, Dr Subir Gokarn and Mr Anand Sinha.

Following the superannuation of Ms Shyamala Gopinath on June 20, a seat of deputy governor had fallen vacant. Rashid's appointment thus fills the vacant position.

Khan in his new post will be handling portfolios like Central Security Cell, Department of External Investments and Operations, Department of Government and Bank Accounts, Department of Payment and Settlement Systems, Foreign Exchange Department, Internal Debt Management Department and Inspection Department.

He has been executive director with RBI since October 2007.
