All in all, ishing auds such as hose in Indo e highligh an u gen es o de eloping economies like India. While he

This isk-based s a egy enables banks o adap au hen ica ion me hods based on ansac ion alue, channel, and

In addi ion o au hen ica ion e o ms, he RBI has eleased mul iple cybe secu i y and ope a ional esilience manda es

This includes eal- ime h ea de ec ion and eco e y s a egies co e ing h ea s like phishing, ishing, malwa e, and

5. C i ique and ecommenda ions: enhancing policy e ec i eness

5.1. Implemen a ion Issues wi h Al e na i e Au hen ica ion Mechanisms:-
Despi e e o s by he RBI o encou age al e na i e au hen ica ion me hods (AAM), i.e., passph ases and biome ics,
banks ha e esolu ely held back. P i a e bank ad iso s ha e e med his ansi ion as "ha d o implemen " and

Recommenda ion: RBI should implemen he adop ion o AFA by a s aged ye binding plan wi h deadline e ms o

5.2. Limi ed En o cemen Beyond High-Le el Guidelines
RBI policy is p ima ily ad iso y, ocusing on p inciple-based guidelines no speci ying obliga o y me hods. Media
epo s highligh banke s' wa iness: as one in ech ad iso sugges ed, "I i ain' b oke, don' ix i ," in an exp ession o

(Ko ak Mahind a, HDFC, e c.) a e subjec o cu bs- his selec i e en o cemen does no s eng hen he digi al sa e y ne

Recommenda ion: The egula o needs o mo e om ad iso ies o binding manda es. A ie ed en o cemen model-
s a ing wi h sys em-wide audi s and penalising non-compliance, would spu quicke adop ion. Public disclosu e o

5.3. Gaps in Public Awa eness and Educa ion
Awa eness p og ams such as "RBI Keh a Hai" b ing c i ical wa nings agains phishing and usage o public Wi-Fi. Ye ,
hey a e no sui ed o a ge ed g oups like u al use s and senio s. Also, digi al li e acy is low. Mo e han 95,000 UPI

Recommenda ion: Launch mul ilingual campaigns o a ge ed use g oups using local banks, sel -help g oups, and

and engagemen . Addi ionally, he implemen a ion o a pee -d i en ambassado p og am in illages may inc ease us
and awa eness.
5.4. Technical Loopholes in Message Au hen ica ion and Domain Secu i y
The RBI p oposal o in oduce a ".bank.in" domain o au hen ic banking si es has p omise bu alls sho in add essing

Recommenda ion: The RBI mus manda e all banks and NBFCs o ansi ion o he ".bank.in" domain and implemen
consis ency in bank communica ion channels. I will also ha e o manda e DMARC, SPF, and DKIM email au hen ica ion
