RBI Proposes Weekly Credit Reporting to Enhance Data
The RBI is considering making banks report loan information every week instead of every two weeks.
This aims to provide more up-to-date information about loans, allowing for quicker updates to credit records.
It will help prevent fraudsters who exploit the time lag in reporting loan defaults.
This may lead to daily reporting in the future, strengthening the credit system by giving lenders better insights into the creditworthiness of borrowers.
The plan also supports the industry's advanced technology and processes and fosters a more resilient credit environment.
RBI may mandate weekly credit data reporting.
Currently, lenders report credit information fortnightly.
The change is to provide more updated credit scores.
More frequent reporting will help prevent fraud.
The goal is to eventually move to daily reporting.
