RBI Services

RBI-related advisory starts by identifying the regulated activity and the authorisation, reporting or transaction route relevant to the business.

Understanding RBI Services

RBI-related advisory starts by identifying the regulated activity and the authorisation, reporting or transaction route relevant to the business.

When to consider this service

Business owners and functional leaders responsible for a defined operating, technology or people-management requirement can use this service to clarify a particular issue. A useful starting question is: “Is there one RBI licence for all financial-service businesses?” Begin with the facts behind that question rather than assuming that a standard package will resolve it.

Scope of work

The engagement can cover the following workstreams. The proposal specifies which apply to your matter and what evidence or specialist input is needed.

  • Map lending payments and foreign-exchange activities.
  • Review category-specific application and compliance needs.
  • Coordinate governance records and specialist inputs.

Documents and information to prepare

Start with the records below where available. They help establish the facts before a more specific checklist is agreed.

  • Business plans.
  • Transaction maps.
  • Registrations.
  • Regulatory correspondence.

Provide the relevant entity, transaction or reporting period and any existing notice or deadline. Identify missing or inconsistent records so they can be addressed explicitly.

A key issue to resolve

No single RBI permission covers all financial activities; the scope follows the business model and regulatory category.

How the engagement works

  1. Define the question: map lending payments and foreign-exchange activities, using the available business plans and the facts you provide.
  2. Examine the evidence: review category-specific application and compliance needs. Record unresolved information and the assumptions that affect the analysis.
  3. Agree the action: coordinate governance records and specialist inputs. Set the required deliverables, responsible owners and any follow-up or external dependency.

Deliverables, fees and timing

The proposal for RBI Services sets out the analysis, documentation or coordination deliverables and the work you retain. The availability of business plans, transaction maps, registrations and regulatory correspondence affects readiness and the amount of follow-up needed. Fees and the working schedule are agreed after that initial assessment. Any required independent report, legal representation or authority application is identified as a separate responsibility where relevant.

Official resources

Use these official resources for the relevant framework. Application to a particular entity, period or jurisdiction requires a separate assessment.
