They were told to do this immediately, and now it has to be followed.
Case of violation of digital lending guidelines
The Reserve Bank of India told the company to do this because they didn’t follow the rules for giving out digital loans.
In their statement, RBI said they had to do this because the company didn’t follow the rules for digital loans from the Reserve Bank of India.
This had to happen because the company didn’t give important information to people taking loans in these two cases and
made mistakes when approving other digital loans.
