Reserve Bank of India became the world's first central bank to become the first monetary authority to have more than 1 million followers on its official Twitter handle.
Despite much less monetary firepower, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has beaten the world”s most powerful central banks — the US Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank — on Twitter by a wide margin, emerging as the most popular central bank on the microblogging site with over 1 million followers.

As of Sunday, the RBI handle is followed by as many as 10,00,513 people around the world. The achievement is impressive as the 85-year-old Reserve Bank was also a latecomer to the world of Twitter as it created the account only in January 2012.
