The rupee fell to as low as 67.45 per against the dollar. According to a report carried by Reuters, it is probably because of claims by a major regional newspaper that Reserve Bank of India Governor Raghuram Rajan did not want to remain at the central bank.



The Reuters report quotes Kolkata-based Anandabazar Patrika which reported that Rajan would prefer to go back to the United States after his three-year term expires in early September, citing sources close to him.



So far, most analysts expect Rajan would get an extension and remain at the helm of the RBI for another two years.
