Abstract

The introduction of the Green Deposit Framework by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has opened the gate for individuals and institutions to invest their funds into environment-friendly projects, thereby facilitating green finance in India and promoting sustainable development. In a fresh commitment to encourage responsible banking, these deposits offer the opportunity to significantly contribute to the global shift toward sustainability. This chapter looks at the changing landscape of green deposits and breaks down the basics of green deposits. It highlights the different types of green deposits, like fixed deposits, savings accounts, recurring accounts, and certificates of deposits, each designed to meet different financial needs. It also underlines their main goal, which is to allocate funds to various environment-related projects. Additionally, the chapter emphasizes how green deposits support social and environmental goals. It examines the regulatory framework established by the RBI, emphasizing transparency, disclosure, and the alignment of funds with green activities. The potential for tax incentives and the integration of carbon credits with green deposits adds a layer of financial attractiveness to these instruments.
