The four dates on this rule

This rulebook is short, and the page is short with it. This document is 922 words long. It states 5 separate rules. So the page carries 5 points, not the thirty a long rulebook carries. Nothing has been left out to make it shorter.

At a glanceThese rules apply to all Authorised Dealer Category I banks. Use the CIMS portal for the branch or office statement from June 30, 2026.

What it says

How firm is each point

Stated by RBI — RBI’s own paragraph says this. We have only made it plainer.

Our reading — BankPulse read RBI’s paragraph and shortened it. The paragraph is the authority, not this line.

Needs judgement — RBI leaves this to the bank to settle, so nobody can give you a fixed number here.
