The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has appointed Suman Ray as Executive Director with effect from September 1, 2026, the central bank said in a statement. Prior to the elevation, Ray was serving as Regional Director for Maharashtra.
In his new role, Ray will look after the Department of Deposit Insurance & Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC) and the Premises Department, according to the RBI. The DICGC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the RBI that provides insurance cover on bank deposits, currently up to Rs 5 lakh per depositor per bank, and administers credit guarantee schemes.
A career central banker, Ray has over three decades of experience at the RBI, having worked in several areas including Currency Management, Financial Inclusion, Payment and Settlement System, Consumer Education and Protection, and Human Resources. He has also served as Secretary to the Western Area Local Board, one of the RBI's regional advisory boards that assist the central board on local matters.
Ray was among five senior officers, along with Gunveer Singh, Monisha Chakraborty, Sudhakar Malli and Ravi Shankar, who were promoted to the rank of executive director by the RBI earlier this year, as reported by The Economic Times.

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.
Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the distinct outlets we found asserting that specific claim — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
