Once the quota reforms are carried out, India's share at IMF is set to rise to 2.75% from 2.44%, making it the eighth largest shareholder in the multilateral agency from its present 11th position.
"The quota reforms at the IMF are likely in October at the Annual Meetings of IMF andWorld bank in Tokyo," a Finance Ministryofficial told PTI.
Last week Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had announced that India would contribute $10 billion to the IMF's $430 billion bailout fund for the euro-zone.
India's contribution was part of a pledge by the G20 nations made in April to supply the IMF with extra firepower.
The implementation of the quota reforms has been delayed as countries such as the US have not yet ratified the proposal.
The issue of quota reforms came up for discussion at the recent G20 summit at Los Cabos and the world leaders had underlined the need for expeditious completion of the quota reforms to give more say to emerging economies.
