The Directions impose Board-level accountability, strict due diligence, and audit rights for material IT outsourcing. AIFIs must strengthen cyber security, data protection, and exit planning under a unified framework.
The RBI (Local Area Banks – Miscellaneous) Directions, 2025 lay down comprehensive regulatory requirements for Local Area Banks covering unclaimed deposits and the DEA Fund, AIF investments, governance, compliance, donations, prohibited activities, HR policies, and operational controls, consolidating and replacing earlier instructions with effect from November 28, 2025.
The Directions stipulate that all loans must be disbursed and repaid directly through borrower accounts, prohibiting third-party control, including LSPs, to safeguard borrower interests.
The new Directions prescribe strict limits on single and group borrower exposures and require Board-approved lending policies. The key takeaway is tighter governance to prevent excessive risk build-up in RRB balance sheets and promote diversification.
The 2025 Directions standardise overdue, SMA and NPA classification through day-end processes, borrower-wise tagging and stricter recovery-based tests, reducing scope for delayed recognition.
RBI has notified binding Directions prescribing prudential capital adequacy norms for UCBs. The key takeaway is mandatory compliance to strengthen financial stability and depositor protection.
The Directions impose clear caps on single and group exposures, mandate Board oversight, and require immediate rectification of breaches. The key takeaway is tighter concentration risk controls with defined exceptions and enhanced reporting.
The RBI mandates small finance banks to promptly identify and report stressed assets. Time-bound resolution plans and compromise settlements ensure financial stability and credit discipline.
RBI introduces a comprehensive framework standardising interest rates, premature withdrawal norms, and deposit policies for all Local Area Banks. The Directions ensure uniformity, transparency, and customer protection across deposit categories.
The regulator tightened norms on lending to directors, relatives, and connected entities. The framework aims to eliminate conflicts of interest and strengthen governance in institutional lending.
