Governor Das reiterated the RBI's commitment to customer-centric practices. He emphasized the importance of ensuring that borrowers have access to clear and comprehensive information about their loans, enabling them to make informed decisions.

Impact On Lending Transparency

The extension of KFS requirements to all retail and MSME loans is expected to significantly enhance transparency in lending practices. By providing borrowers with comprehensive information about charges, fees, and interest rates, the RBI aims to empower customers to make informed decisions regarding their loans.
