RBI proposes rules to let lenders disable phones for loan defaults

Hausa

The Reserve Bank of India is proposing to allow lenders to disable certain mobile phone functions for loan defaulters on devices financed by the loan. The restrictions are set to take effect in October 2026 under strict oversight.

The proposal requires a graduated approach that excludes essential services from any restrictions. Lenders would need to follow detailed conduct rules during recovery efforts, including mandatory certification for agents and clear data privacy protections for borrowers.
