The updated guidelines emphasize clear accountability, enhanced monitoring, and robust internal controls, ensuring that banks operate with greater transparency and operational resilience.
Under the new framework, bank boards are expected to play a proactive role in enterprise risk management, capital planning, and strategic initiatives, aligning organizational objectives with regulatory expectations. The RBI highlighted that effective governance practices are critical for mitigating operational and financial risks while promoting sustainable growth in the banking sector.
