The Reserve Bank of India has, from time to time, issued several instructions/ guidelines to co-operative banks, i.e., Primary (Urban) Co-operative Banks (UCBs), State Co-operative banks (StCBs) and District Central Co-operative banks (DCCBs), related to permission for place of business, change of name and scheduling. With a view to harmonising the above instructions/ guidelines and consolidating them in one place, Draft Master Direction (MD) on Business Authorization for Co-operative Banks (Directions), 2025 was issued on July 28, 2025 seeking feedback from banks and other stakeholders.

Extant guidelines stipulate submission of credit information by Credit Institutions (CIs) to Credit Information Companies (CICs) at fortnightly or shorter intervals. Given the increasing reliance of CIs on credit information reports (CIRs) in credit underwriting processes, it is imperative that the CIRs provided by CICs reflect more recent information. Upon review, it was proposed to amend the extant instructions and transition to weekly incremental submission of credit information by CIs to CICs along with measures to facilitate faster data submission and error rectification. Accordingly, the Reserve Bank had issued Draft Reserve Bank of India (Credit Information Reporting) (1st Amendment) Directions, 2025, on September 29, 2025, inviting public comments / feedback.
