RBI Proposes Data Governance Framework to Enhance Accountability in Banks and NBFCs
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) released draft guidelines on data governance for banks and NBFCs, aiming to strengthen accountability, data management, and cybersecurity. The framework requires board-approved governance structures, designated data roles, and a single source of truth for critical data. While compliance will increase costs, banks like Karur Vysya and CSB Bank are preparing by appointing data officers. The RBI seeks public feedback by August 17, emphasizing tailored requirements based on institution size and complexity to avoid one-size-fits-all mandates.
