Check my policy for old circulars

Paste a policy, a manual, an audit note or a checklist. This page finds every RBI circular number in it. For each one it says whether RBI has withdrawn it, on which date, and by which notice.

Why this matters now. On 28 November 2025 RBI withdrew 9,445 circulars in one day. On 31 July 2026 it repealed 628 more. A policy written before those dates may still quote numbers that no longer exist. An inspector or auditor will notice.

This is a reference, not legal advice. We do not claim this is the first or the only tool of its kind.

How this works

1. Paste your text. Any policy, note, manual or checklist. Word or PDF text pasted in is fine.
2. Press Check. The page reads the text on your own device.
3. Read each number. Withdrawn, not in the lists, or not checkable by that number.
4. Print or copy the report. Attach it to your policy review.

What this page can and cannot do

It can find circular numbers written with a department code and a slash. DOR.CRE.REC.402/07-01-001/2025-26 is one. DBOD.No.BC.140/09.07.007/93 is another. Spaces and dashes inside a number do not matter.

It cannot check a Master Direction quoted by name only. It cannot check RBI's running serial numbers, like RBI/2025-26/100. It does not read what your policy says. It only checks the numbers.

"Not in the lists" is not "in force". A rule can close an older one without naming it in a list. Before you rely on a number, open What replaced what.

Where the list comes from. RBI keeps one public page of withdrawn circulars. We read it on 25 September 2026. It holds the list of 28 November 2025 and the list of 31 July 2026. Open RBI's page ↗

To look up one number at a time, use Where did my circular go?
