this is a welcome move. This is a fraud bank, sends promotional emails with zero fee offers and after issuing card levies the fees. So they deserve it truly.

@Gulag-Survivor "Until Kotak Bank improves its IT and security infrastructure and submits the report to RBI, the RBI will conduct another test and audit. If they are satisfied with the report, then the ban will be revoked. The timeline for the revocation of the ban depends on how quickly Kotak Bank completes the required improvements and submits the report to RBI."

RBI bars Kotak Mahindra Bank from onboarding new customers through online, mobile banking; issuing new credit cards

The RBI actions are necessitated based on significant concerns arising out of RBI's IT Examination of the bank for the years 2022 and 2023 and the continued failure on part of the bank to address these concerns in a comprehensive and timely manner, the RBI said.

The bank shall, however, continue to provide services to its existing customers, including its credit card customers, the RBI said. "These actions are necessitated based on significant concerns arising out of Reserve Bank’s IT Examination of the bank for the years 2022 and 2023 and the continued failure on part of the bank to address these concerns in a comprehensive and timely manner," the RBI said.

Explaining the action, the RBI said dor two consecutive years, the bank was assessed to be deficient in its IT Risk and Information Security Governance, contrary to requirements under Regulatory guidelines.

During the subsequent assessments, the bank was found to be significantly non-compliant with the Corrective Action Plans issued by the Reserve Bank for the years 2022 and 2023, as the compliances submitted by the bank were found to be either inadequate, incorrect or not sustained, the central bank said.

"In the absence of a robust IT infrastructure and IT Risk Management framework, the bank’s Core Banking System (CBS) and its online and digital banking channels have suffered frequent and significant outages in the last two years, the recent one being a service disruption on April 15, 2024, resulting in serious customerinconveniences," the RBI said.

During the investigations, the RBI found that the bank is materially deficient in building necessary operational resilience on account of its failure to build IT systems and controls commensurate with its growth.

The Reserve Bank of India on Wednesday asked Kotak Mahindra Bank to cease issuing new credit cards and onboarding new customers through an online portal.

RBI stopped Kotak Mahindra Bank from issuing new credit cards due to serious shortcomings in the bank's IT security practices. The bank failed to address concerns raised by the RBI for two consecutive years regarding IT Risk and Information Security Governance. This poses a risk to customer data and financial security. While existing customers are not affected, the bank is restricted from adding new ones or issuing new credit cards until these issues are resolved.

RBI is in Full Action Mode!

RBI imposed similar restrictions on HDFC Bank in 2020.

A Few Banks and Fintech banned are Federal Bank and South Indian Bank Stopped Onboarding New Customers for Co-Branded Credit Cards Basis RBI Guidelines including SBM Bank India Ltd.

Protection of consumer interest is one of the core guiding principles of the RBI & we should appreciate the RBI's efforts to protect consumer interests instead of making nonsensical & baseless accusations.

Dear RBI, 

Kudos to you!!I must bring it to your immediate attention that Ax$hit Bank is also seeking your Slap/Danda/Bamboo badly.Ever since it acquired Citi's consumer business in India, Ax$h!t bank has been bullying and harassing customers.Kindly consider providing your Danda / Bamboo to Ax$h!t Bank as well, so that it can improve its service.

Thanks and Regards
