RBI issues directions for opening, merging, and operating bank branches, mandating 25% in unbanked rural centres and oversight mechanisms for financial inclusion.
The 2025 directions provide a structured framework for voluntary amalgamation of banks, ensuring governance, shareholder approval, and regulatory oversight.
The RBI’s 2025 directions ensure diversified bank ownership, impose fit-and-proper criteria for major shareholders, and mandate prior approval for acquiring significant stakes.
RBI mandates rules for internet and mobile banking, ensuring banks meet regulatory, technological, and customer protection standards before launching digital channels.
RBI’s 2025 Directions overhaul how commercial banks classify, value, and manage investments. The rules tighten Board oversight, clarify SPPI tests, redefine treatment of AT1/Tier 2 instruments, and strengthen IFR and derivative disclosure requirements.
RBI has repealed the 2016 KYC Master Direction and mandated adoption of the new 2025 KYC Directions across all payment systems. The update standardizes KYC, digital verification, and due diligence requirements for uniform compliance.
RBI consolidates regulatory instructions into 244 Master Directions and repeals outdated circulars to streamline compliance and simplify the regulatory framework.
RBI has replaced the old 2016 KYC framework with entity-specific directions for all Authorised Persons. The update mandates compliance with new KYC norms based on regulatory category and requires monitoring of agents and franchisees.
The RBI’s 2025 Directions set prudential exposure limits to mitigate risks from large exposures to single borrowers or groups. Banks must ensure diversification and report significant exposures above 10% of Tier I capital.
