Applicable Act/Rule: Reserve Bank of India regulatory framework administered by the Department of Regulation (DoR)

RBI has reorganised and consolidated all regulatory instructions administered by the Department of Regulation into a streamlined framework to remove redundancy and simplify compliance. Obsolete instructions have been excluded from the new structure.

RBI has issued 244 Master Directions that consolidate all existing instructions issued by the Department of Regulation, including those previously issued by departments now merged into DoR. A total of 9,445 circulars whose instructions have either been consolidated or become obsolete are withdrawn and stand repealed with immediate effect. However, any action already taken or initiated under the repealed instructions will continue to be governed by the provisions applicable at the time of such action.
