The Reserve Bank of India has directed all White Label ATM (WLA) Operators to begin submitting monthly regulatory returns through its newly launched Centralised Information Management System (CIMS). With effect from the reporting period starting December 2025, WLA Operators must file the “WLA Statistics” return (Return Code R330) on the CIMS portal in accordance with prescribed reporting guidelines. RBI has confirmed that Admin Users for each reporting entity have already been created on the platform, and these Admin Users are responsible for generating login credentials for authorised personnel who will submit the returns. In line with existing regulatory practice, the monthly return must be submitted by the 7th day of the succeeding month, making January 7, 2026 the due date for the December 2025 return. The directive is issued under Sections 12 and 19 of the Payment and Settlement Systems Act, 2007, and non-compliance with the reporting requirement may attract penal action.
