Rajan 在一份發放予印央行員工的信件上表明，自己在九月任期完結後，就會返回學界，不會再留任。
印度財長在信件公佈後，就已在Twitter上表示多謝Rajan的貢獻，並表示會在短期內公佈接任人選。
The Government appreciates the good work done by him and respects his decision. A decision on his successor would be announced shortly.(2/2)

而一直在印度國內極力反對Rajan連任的國會議員Subramanian Swamy，就在Twitter上讚揚Modi（文中的Namo）不屈服於傳媒及國外勢力的壓力，成功趕走Rajan（文中的R3）。
My admiration for Namo has gone up hugely. Media, industrialists, and international bureaucrats piled on him for R3, but he did not bend

但當然，國際上不少經濟學者都對Rajan不連任感到可惜。按Bloomberg報道，Larry Summers就表Rajan為少數可以改變一個國家的貨幣政策體制的行長，他希望未來印度仍會以Rajan的政策作發展基礎。
“Ragu Rajan will be missed. He is one of the few central bank governors who has changed the regime in a major country. This is a major accomplishment. I hope very much for the sake of India and the global economy that his policy innovations are a foundation for what is to come.”
Rajan leaves RBI to come back to Booth. A great gain for us, a huge loss for India

而早前撰文大鬧反對勢力是Crony Capitalism的芝大商學院教授Luigi Zingales就指，Rajan回歸Chicago Booth商學院對他們來說是好事，損失的只是印度。
