RBI proposes lagged credit for push payments, kill switch to mitigate financial fraud

RBI proposes lagged credit for push payments, kill switch to mitigate financial fraud - Regulators - 2 min read RBI proposes lagged credit for push payments, kill switch to mitigate financial fraud The Reserve Bank of India has proposed new measures to combat financial fraud, including lagged credit for authorized push payments exceeding Rs 10,000 and a 'kill switch' for digital payments. These proposals aim to address the rise in digital payment frauds and protect vulnerable customers, with feedback sought by May 8. To mitigate financial fraud, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Thursday proposed lagged credit for authorised push payments and a control or kill switch for digital payments. It further proposed limiting aggregate credits in an account to help counter the problem created by mule accounts, and the designation of a trusted person to authenticate high-value transactions for citizens aged 70 years and above and persons with disabilities. The central bank proposed these norms in a discussion paper released on Thursday amid a rise in fraudulent activities targeting customers. It announced the discussion paper as part of its statement on developmental and regulatory policies during the February monetary policy meeting. National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCRP) indicate that fraud related to digital payments is on the rise, with 28 lakh frauds reported in 2025, amounting to Rs 22,931 crore, higher than 24 lakh, totalling Rs 22,848 crore in 2024, 13.1 lakh worth Rs 7,465 crore in 2023, according to the discussion paper. In the lagged credit for authorised push payments, the central bank proposed a short delay at the payer's end for transactions above Rs 10,000.

Labour codes rollout hits grey areas as firms flag clarity gaps, rising compliance costs

Labour codes rollout hits grey areas as firms flag clarity gaps, rising compliance costs - Law & Policy - 3 min read Labour codes rollout hits grey areas as firms flag clarity gaps, rising compliance costs India's new labour codes face compliance hurdles due to ambiguous definitions and delayed state-level rules, creating uncertainty for businesses. Companies are grappling with higher transition costs and operational complexities, particularly in worker classification and wage structures. Greater clarity and coordination are needed to ensure the codes simplify regulation without increasing business pressures. Highlights - The definition of 'industry' and the extent of worker protection under India's new labour codes remain ambiguous, raising concerns among companies regarding compliance for different operational models. - The lack of finalized state-level rules has created a fragmented implementation landscape, forcing employers to rely on older regulations and increasing compliance risks amid the transition to new labour codes. - Companies face rising costs associated with transitioning to the new regime, including expenses for legal advice, policy restructuring, and compliance training, as well as challenges in workforce management and record-keeping. Even as India’s four central labour codes are formally in force, companies and legal experts say ambiguities in definitions, uneven state-level rulemaking, and higher transition costs are complicating compliance for employers operating across jurisdictions. One of the most contested issues is the scope of the term ‘industry’ and the extent of worker protection under the new framework. "There is still a lack of clarity on the definition of industry. Whether corporate offices of manufacturing companies fall under the definition of industry or not?

CCI directs 17 firms to cease anti-competitive practices in Assam tenders

CCI directs 17 firms to cease anti-competitive practices in Assam tenders - Regulators - 1 min read CCI directs 17 firms to cease anti-competitive practices in Assam tenders Fair trade regulator CCI has directed 17 entities to cease and desist from anti-competitive practices in tenders floated by Assam Police Housing Corporation Ltd for electrification works in police station buildings across the state. The regulator found that the firms, including M/s Purbanchal Enterprise and others, violated provisions of competition rules by indulging in bid rigging in tenders for "internal and external electrification works" under the Mission of Overall Improvement of Thana for Responsive Image Scheme of the Assam government. The proceedings originated from a complaint on August 10, 2020, by the Office of the Accountant General (Audit), Assam, alleging bid rigging in tenders floated by the Assam Police Housing Corporation Ltd, according to a release by the Competition Commission of India (CCI). "The finding of bid-rigging in relation to all the opposite parties is premised on the evaluation of evidence in the form of identical mistakes in bid submissions, identical IP addresses, call detail record details, and demand drafts with consecutive numbers, the release said. Accordingly, the Commission directed the entities and their proprietors to cease and desist from indulging in practices which have been found to be in contravention of the provisions of Section 3(3)(d) read with Section 3(1) of the Act. The firms were also held liable under Section 48 of the Act, it added.
