  • India's central bank on Wednesday lifted restrictions on Kotak Mahindra Bank that had barred the lender from onboarding new customers through its online channels and issuing new credit cards.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has lifted restrictions on Kotak Mahindra Bank, allowing the bank to resume onboarding new customers through its online and mobile banking channels. This decision comes after the RBI had imposed these restrictions in April 2024 due to concerns over the bank's IT systems and risk management practices. The removal of these curbs is seen as a positive development for Kotak Mahindra Bank, which had faced significant operational challenges. The bank can now focus on enhancing its digital infrastructure and expanding its customer base, although it must continue to address the underlying issues that led to the initial restrictions.
