The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) vide public document ‘High-Risk Jurisdictions subject to a Call for Action’ - 13 June 2025, has called on its members and other jurisdictions to refer to the statement on Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) and Iran adopted in February 2020 which remains in effect. Further, Myanmar was added to the list of High-Risk Jurisdictions subject to a Call for Action in the October 2022 FATF plenary and FATF has called on its members and other jurisdictions to apply enhanced due diligence measures proportionate to the risk arising from Myanmar. When applying enhanced due diligence measures, countries have been advised to ensure that flows of funds for humanitarian assistance, legitimate NPO activity and remittances are not disrupted. The status of Myanmar in the list of countries subject to a call for action, remains unchanged.

The various services offered by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to the entities regulated by it and to the citizens of the country were listed under two distinct heads viz.

A comprehensive review of the services offered by RBI has been undertaken and the timelines have been rationalised leading to reduction of time in 11 services. All services to the regulated entities and to the citizens have been subsumed under the Citizen’s Charter. The Citizen’s Charter now contains 204 services.
