Section 1 — About the RBI Master Direction

Strengthen IT governance across India’s regulated financial sector.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Master Direction on Information Technology Governance, Risk, Controls and Assurance Practices, issued on 7 November 2023, consolidates expectations around IT governance, information security, business continuity and information systems audit for applicable RBI-regulated entities in India.

The Direction focuses on areas such as IT governance, cybersecurity controls, risk management, business continuity, access management, incident preparedness, third-party oversight and IS audit.

For banks, applicable NBFCs and other regulated entities, compliance requires clear ownership, documented controls, evidence of implementation and ongoing visibility into technology risk.
