RBI expands digital fraud protection, introduces compensation for small-value scam victims - Litigation - 1 min read RBI expands digital fraud protection, introduces compensation for small-value scam victims The RBI has expanded customer protection rules for digital payment frauds to cover cases where people are tricked into sending money to scammers and introduced a compensation mechanism for small-value frauds. Eligible victims can receive up to 85% of their losses, subject to a cap of ₹25,000. Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Wednesday broadened its framework for limiting customer liability in digital transactions to cover a wider range of payment scams, including cases where customers are tricked into transferring money to fraudsters posing as legitimate recipients, and introduced a compensation mechanism for victims of small-value digital frauds. Under the revised framework, bona fide victims suffering losses of up to ₹50,000 due to fraudulent electronic banking transactions will be eligible for compensation of 85% of their net loss, subject to a maximum of ₹25,000, once during their lifetime. Also read: RBI to raise large exposure limit for upper layer NBFC-IFCs to 45% from 35% of eligible capital base The central bank said the amended directions will come into effect from January 1, 2027. The revised rules also cover cases where a third party uses credentials obtained fraudulently to carry out transactions and situations where customers approve transactions under coercion or duress. As part of the new framework, banks will be required to examine complaints and establish liability within 45 calendar days in cases involving domestic fraudulent electronic banking transactions and within 60 calendar days for cross-border cases. Banks will have to communicate the reasons to customers if these timelines are…

Madras High Court denies anticipatory bail to suspended woman Inspector of Police in gold coin fraud case

Madras High Court denies anticipatory bail to suspended woman Inspector of Police in gold coin fraud case The Madras High Court has refused to grant anticipatory bail to suspended Inspector of Police Sheela Mary accused of having induced police personnel and others to invest money in an enterprise run by her private driver by promising them gold and plots at discounted prices. Kumarappan dismissed the advance bail plea following stiff opposition from the prosecution. The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) in Chennai had booked Ms. Mary, her driver Prabhu Mani and his employees Senthil as well as Kalpana in connection with the alleged financial fraud. The First Information Report (FIR) was registered against them on May 25, 2026 on the basis of a complaint lodged by S. Venkatraman, branch manager of a private bank, who had reportedly deposited ₹89.32 lakh of his personal money in Vinayaga Enterprises of Kodungaiyur in Chennai. According to the complainant, he was serving as the manager at Royapuram branch of the bank between 2023 and 2025 when he tried to canvass a woman customer, who was serving as a Sub Inspector of Police at Royapuram All Women Police Station, to invest some money in fixed deposits. The Sub Inspector reportedly told the complainant her superior Ms.

Kerala government replaces prosecutor in ED assault case amid bail controversy, appoints Special Public Prosecutor

Kerala government replaces prosecutor in ED assault case amid bail controversy, appoints Special Public Prosecutor The Kerala government on Sunday (June 28, 2026) appointed senior advocate A. Santhosh Kumar as the Special Public Prosecutor in the case relating to the alleged assault on Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials following a raid on the residence of the Leader of the Opposition Pinarayi Vijayan in Thiruvananthapuram recently. The appointment comes amid controversy over the handling of the prosecution after the ninth accused, Harish Kumar, a Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) worker, was granted bail. The outcome prompted the Thiruvananthapuram City Police to seek the removal of the existing prosecutor T. Geena Kumari whose conduct in the bail proceedings has come under intense scrutiny. The police alleged that she failed to effectively oppose the bail application, despite a detailed report recommending its rejection. According to official sources, a report citing 13 grounds for denying bail was not adequately presented before the court. They further contend that the prosecutor argued that custodial interrogation was unnecessary, a stand that allegedly facilitated the grant of bail to the ninth accused.

AJUP chief Humayun Kabir booked for allegedly threatening BJP

AJUP chief Humayun Kabir booked for allegedly threatening BJP The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leadership in Murshidabad has lodged a First Information Report against the chairperson of the Aam Janata Unnayan Party (AJUP), Humayun Kabir, for allegedly threatening to harm a religious community during a rally on Friday (June 26, 2026). Kabir, who is also an MLA, sparked controversy with his remarks at a rally in the Rejinagar constituency. “The FIR was lodged by the BJP’s youth wing and Ram Sita Sewa Mandir. The complaint was based on a viral video from the rally in which Mr. Kabir allegedly called for the mobilising of a particular religious community against another if they cross the line,” said an official from the Behrampur police station. He issued a stern warning to the Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, demanding an immediate end to the BJP’s political stranglehold in Murshidabad district. He said, “The day I mobilise and take to the field, I will strike back so hard that there won’t be anyone left even to carry their party flag.” This comes a day after a BJP leader from Malda’s English Bazar lodged another FIR against Mr.

New portal for social auditing of rural schemes launched

New portal for social auditing of rural schemes launched Ahead of the implementation of the Viksit Bharat - Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) from July 1, Union Rural Development Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan launched ‘Rural Internal Audit Portal’ during the Rashtriya Gramin Vikas Sammelan here on Sunday (June 28, 2026). The Ministry said the AI-enabled portal marks a significant step towards enhancing transparency, accountability, and technology-driven governance. The portal is a unified digital platform for end-to-end management of internal audits covering both risk-based and compliance audits. “Conceived by the Office of the Chief Controller of Accounts (CCA), Ministry of Rural Development, and developed in collaboration with the National Informatics Centre (NIC), the Portal represents a significant milestone in the Ministry’s digital governance journey,” the Ministry said, adding that the portal has transformed internal audit from a fragmented, paper-intensive, and largely manual exercise into a transparent, technology-enabled, and data-driven management system. Chouhan said when he was the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, he had noticed irregularities in implementing the erstwhile MGNREGA in many places. He said there were shortcomings such as use of machines for work instead of labourers, errors in muster rolls, and incorrect attendance that led to significant misappropriation of funds. “We are making certain changes such as increasing the working days of labourers from 100 to 125. No needy labourer will be left without work,” he said, adding that the Narendra Modi government had consistently increased allocation to the rural job guarantee scheme and involved local self-governments in its implementation. He said the revamped scheme would have improved implementation and the…
