The amendment clarifies that identity and address verification rests with the entity that last updated CKYCR records. Small finance banks relying on such records are spared repeat checks but must continue full customer due diligence under KYC norms.
The amendment clearly assigns identity and address verification to the entity that last updated customer records in CKYCR. Banks relying on such records are relieved from repeat checks but must continue full customer due diligence under KYC norms.
The regulator held that the bank last uploading or updating KYC data in CKYCR is responsible for identity and address verification. Other banks may rely on such records without re-verification, streamlining compliance while retaining broader CDD accountability.
The Directions mandate robust KYC and AML/CFT controls for AIFIs with immediate effect. The key takeaway is stricter customer identification and monitoring aligned with FATF standards.
The Directions prescribe standardised presentation and disclosure norms for All-India Financial Institutions. The key takeaway is enhanced consistency and transparency in AIFI financial statements.
The RBI has overhauled responsible business conduct norms, mandating transparency, fair practices, and borrower protection across AIFIs. The key takeaway is stricter accountability in lending and recovery processes.
AIFIs must deny fresh credit and impose post-removal cooling-off periods on wilful defaulters. The ruling underscores deterrence against intentional defaults.
The 2025 Directions mandate strict timelines, review periods, and higher provisioning for delays in resolving stressed assets. The key takeaway is faster resolution with stronger accountability for AIFIs.
New prudential norms tighten NPA identification, borrower-wise classification, and day-end tagging. The key takeaway is uniform, objective recognition to curb evergreening.
The issue concerns the rollout of Phase 2 of continuous cheque clearing under CTS. RBI postponed implementation to give banks more time to prepare operationally.
