RBI has overhauled customer protection rules for Regional Rural Banks by introducing stronger fraud prevention measures, zero-liability provisions, and mandatory compensation mechanisms for eligible victims of electronic banking fraud.

The Directions define customer and bank liabilities, mandate fraud reporting systems, and establish compensation and grievance redressal mechanisms.
The amended Directions entitle customers to zero liability where fraud occurs due to bank negligence or timely reported third-party breaches. Payments Banks must also provide prompt transaction reversals, investigate complaints within prescribed timelines, and strengthen fraud prevention systems.
RBI’s 2026 amendment introduces stronger safeguards for Small Finance Bank customers, including zero-liability protection, mandatory fraud alerts, compensation for eligible victims, and stricter fraud reporting obligations.
