Consolidation of Regulations – Withdrawal of circulars

Please refer to the press release issued on November 28, 2025 announcing the release of 244 Master Directions  consolidating the instructions currently administered by the Department of Regulation (DoR) of the Reserve Bank of India.

2. These 244 Master Directions encompass the instructions issued by DoR as well as the erstwhile Departments which have since been merged into DoR either partly or fully. Further, the extant instructions considered as obsolete have not been included in the consolidated Master Directions, as they are no longer relevant.

3. Accordingly, 9445 circulars listed in the Annex, which are either circulars whose instructions have been consolidated or circulars which have become obsolete / redundant, are withdrawn by the Reserve Bank with immediate effect and are hereby repealed.

4. Notwithstanding such repeal, any action taken or purported to have been taken, or initiated under the repealed Directions, instructions, or guidelines shall continue to be governed by the provisions thereof.

Yours faithfully
