RBI rolls out simpler rules, makes compliance easier

9,445 circulars give way to 244 master directions
THE RESERVE BANK of India (RBI) on Friday issued 244 consolidated master directions as part of its initiative to enhance clarity, accessibility and compliance efficiency for the country’s diverse financial institutions.
Over the past 5-6 months, the RBI undertook a comprehensive exercise to reorganise decades of regulatory instructions. A list of 9,445 circulars and guidelines—some dating back to the 1940s—have now been repealed, withdrawn and merged into a unified set of directions.
The consolidation ensures that regulated entities no longer need to navigate overlapping or outdated instructions, significantly reducing the compliance burden.
