Deep dive - the full story

The Reserve Bank of India has introduced comprehensive compliance guidelines for bulk deposit rate controls, scheduled to take effect on October 1, 2026. The regulatory framework mandates uniform pricing structures across institutional depositors, daily publication of offered rates, and meticulous liquidity coverage ratio segmentation.

This directive aims to standardize large-scale deposit management and curb aggressive rate bidding among commercial lenders. Banks are required to establish verifiable audit evidence for all rate applications and institute formal exception handling procedures to address deviations.

Compliance departments must review current treasury software and deposit mobilization policies well ahead of the October 1, 2026 effective date. Banking professionals need to set up daily rate publication mechanisms and ensure audit trails are ready for supervisory inspections.
