RBI Sets New Guidelines To Protect Borrowers

The RBI has introduced stricter loan recovery rules effective January 1, 2027, to protect borrowers from harassment. Recovery agents can contact customers only between 8 am and 7 pm, while banks must record calls and follow transparent procedures. Devices must be unlocked within one hour after loan repayment, or banks must pay compensation for delays.
