RBI Digital Lending Directions 2025 — Complete Guide for NBFCs

RBI Digital Lending Directions 2025 — What Changed for NBFCs?

The Reserve Bank of India issued comprehensive Digital Lending guidelines applicable to all Registered NBFCs and MFIs. Non-compliance risks registration cancellation and penalties exceeding Rs. 1 crore.

Mandatory Requirements

1. CIMS Portal Reporting

All NBFCs must submit borrower-wise data monthly to the Credit Information Management System (CIMS) portal. Manual submission is error-prone and time-consuming — automated software is essential.

2. Video KYC (V-CIP)

Video Customer Identification Process (V-CIP) is now mandatory for new borrowers. Physical KYC is secondary. Your loan software must have a certified V-CIP integration.

3. Board-Approved Policies

Digital lending operations require Board-approved Fair Practices Code, KYC Policy, and Data Privacy Policy on record.

4. Key Fact Statement (KFS)

Every loan disbursement must be accompanied by a KFS clearly stating the Annual Percentage Rate (APR), all fees, and charges. Auto-generate this from your LMS.

5. Co-lending Engine

NBFCs co-lending with banks must have a dedicated co-lending engine tracking portfolio allocation and settlement reconciliation.

What Your Software Must Include

• RBI-compliant Loan Management System (LMS)
• Automated CIMS monthly reporting
• Video KYC integration (V-CIP certified)
• Complete audit trail (immutable)
• Borrower grievance redressal portal
• Key Fact Statement auto-generation

Penalty for Non-Compliance

• Financial penalties up to Rs. 1 crore
• Reputational damage and credit rating impact
