The RBI has sought comments from the public by August 17 on its draft proposals titled 'Guidance on Regulatory Expectations for Data Governance.' These seek to strengthen controls over the growing use of external service providers, technology vendors and group entities by banks and other regulated financial institutions.

RBI mandates regulated entities to implement a comprehensive data governance framework to enhance data management and compliance.

RBI's new framework enhances data governance in banks, ensuring quality, security, and accountability in India's digital banking landscape.
