banking checks: India set to standardise 'know your customer' banking checks
India's financial stability panel aims to standardize customer verification processes across the financial sector to curb illegal lending through online applications. The plan, discussed at a meeting of the Financial Stability and Development Council, seeks to ensure uniformity in Know Your Customer (KYC) norms. This move follows regulatory action against Paytm Payments Bank for non-compliance. The panel also addressed measures to prevent the negative impacts of illegal online lending apps, which have surged during the COVID-19 pandemic.
