RBI Mandates Uniform Prudential Norms for UPI-Linked Credit Lines
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has mandated that all credit facilities, including pre-sanctioned credit lines offered via the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), must adhere to the same prudential norms as their underlying loan types, regardless of delivery mode. This move aims to close regulatory gaps and ensure consistent compliance across banks. Meanwhile, Suryoday Small Finance Bank reports that prime borrowers with high credit scores are increasingly using UPI-linked credit lines for convenience, with modest average drawdowns and regional adoption concentrated in digitally advanced areas.
