RBI Bans Bajaj Finance's eCOM and Insta EMI Card Loans The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) took a decisive step to safeguard borrowers' interests by prohibiting Bajaj Finance from issuing loans under its eCOM and Insta EMI card products. The move follows non-compliance with crucial digital lending guidelines. The RBI's investigation revealed lapses in providing Key Fact Statements (KFS) to borrowers, essential documents detailing loan specifics like interest rates, repayment terms, and fees. Deficiencies in KFSs for other digital loans were also noted. This ban underscores the significance of KFSs, empowering borrowers to make informed decisions. Its immediate effect aims to protect individuals from unfair lending practices, fostering transparency and informed choices. Bajaj Finance is committed to reviewing and complying with the RBI's directives. The company anticipates minimal impact on its operations while affirming adherence to regulatory standards. Key Points: - Immediate ban on new eCOM and Insta EMI card loans. - Continued servicing of existing loans under these products is permitted. - Upholding digital lending guidelines is crucial; non-compliance can lead to regulatory sanctions. This development serves as a potent reminder for all lenders to ensure strict adherence to digital lending norms. Upholding transparency and borrower welfare must remain paramount. #RBI #BajajFinance #DigitalLending #BorrowersFirst Your thoughts on this regulatory action? Share in the comments below!

₹35,000 Crore and counting India's banking system often leaves back customers fretting and fuming. Now one more such instance has come to light. In reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha, MoS Finace, Dr Bhagwat Karad noted the banking system had collected around ₹35,000 crore from customers as charges for failing to maintain the minimum stipulated balance , charges for SMS, excessive use of ARMS (more than the stipulated number). This is for the period from fiscal 2018 onwards. MINIMUM BALANCE A closer look reveals that the maximum penalty collected was ₹21,044 crore was from those customers who failed to maintain the stipulated minimum balance in their savings bank (SB)accounts. Typically banks ask customers to maintain around say ₹500 to ₹1,000 in case of rural areas with balances ranging between ₹2,000 to ₹10,000 in case of semi-urban or metro branches. One way to avoid this would be close their SB accounts when not in use. This is particularly true of the salary accounts wherein banks permit zero balance subject to of course salary getting credited. The charges for non maintenance of the minimum balance is supposed to be 'reasonable' as far as the RBI is concerned though this is quite debatable. ATM USAGE FEE Similarly banks have collected nearly ₹8,300 crore from customers who have used ATM services far higher than the maximum stipulated free transactions (both financial and non-financial). Remember it was only from January 2022 that the RBI issued a cap of ₹21 in case of ATM usage. #personal finance #LinkedIn #Bankcharges #Minimumbalance
