The Delhi High Court has sought responses from the Centre and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) regarding a petition alleging data privacy violations by NBFC digital lending apps. The petition claims these apps illegally access borrower data like contacts and call logs, despite RBI's 2025 digital lending guidelines. The court expressed concern over the alleged practices and the enforcement of guidelines, ordering the RBI to file a counter-affidavit detailing actions taken against violations. The petitioner argues that borrowers are compelled to accept broad privacy policies, making consent involuntary.
