BankPulse What Changed

When RBI amends a Master Direction, the amendment, its date and when it takes effect

60 AMENDMENTS PAIRED WITH THEIR RULE -- GROWING

This is a count of amendment pairs, not of the rule library — what each BankPulse number counts. Each entry names the Master Direction, the amending notification, its date and when it takes effect, with links to the official pages. RBI does not publish old versions of a Master Direction as separate downloadable files, so a full text-by-text diff is not possible; a plain-English summary of each change is added once it is written and checked.
