In a move to bolster consumer safety, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) unveiled draft amendments aimed at strengthening the rules around customer liability in digital transactions.
The amendments, announced during the February monetary policy, propose enhanced protections and faster resolutions for users facing fraudulent electronic banking transactions.
The RBI has called for public feedback by April 6, 2026. Key proposals include a compensation mechanism for minor fraud, enforced for a year, as RBI seeks to shift more compensation responsibility to banks.
