Roadmap for Financial Institutions in India
A strategic enforcement analysis from AK & Partners—tailored for banks, NBFCs, fintechs, and compliance leaders for risk mitigation and compliance systems
The Year RBI made Compliance Non-Negotiable
In 2024, India’s financial regulator levied over ₹56 crore in monetary penalties across more than 300 enforcement actions. But the message goes beyond numbers—compliance is now a leadership function, not a backend formality.
From KYC lapses and related-party lending to cybersecurity failures and digital governance gaps, the RBI’s scrutiny spanned legacy banks, digital lenders, NBFCs, and payment system operators.
This report is AK & Partners' flagship enforcement analysis—curated for decision-makers seeking to understand regulatory psychology, institutional blind spots, and risk foresight for 2025.
