The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Wednesday clarified that it does not have any arrangement with any entity for redress of grievances against regulated entities (REs).
A statement from the central bank emphasised that it has laid down a cost-free grievance redress mechanism under the Reserve Bank – Integrated Ombudsman Scheme 2021 (RB-IOS).
The clarification aims to counter misinformation spread through social media about RB-IOS.
“These messages are conveying to public at large to lodge their complaints against entities regulated by RBI through third parties for a charge/fee or otherwise for early redress of grievances,” the statement said.
