El RBI propone normas para permitir que los prestamistas bloqueen teléfonos por impago de préstamos

El Banco de la Reserva de la India propone permitir que los prestamistas deshabiliten ciertas funciones de los teléfonos móviles de los deudores en dispositivos financiados por el préstamo. Las restricciones entrarán en vigor en octubre de 2026 bajo una estricta supervisión.

La propuesta requiere un enfoque gradual que excluya los servicios esenciales de cualquier restricción. Los prestamistas deberán seguir normas de conducta detalladas durante los esfuerzos de recuperación, incluyendo una certificación obligatoria para los agentes y claras protecciones de privacidad de datos para los prestatarios.
