RBI allows depositories to show customer deposits in statements
In short
The RBI said SEBI-registered depositories can include customer deposits in statements by late 2026. It also raised the repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.50 percent.
This matters for depositors, depositories and lenders because it changes statement reporting and borrowing costs. The reporting does not say how the new statement format will work or exactly when the change starts.
What the reporting says
The RBI announced measures allowing SEBI-registered depositories to include customer deposits in statements by late 2026. The same publisher summary says the MPC also raised the repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.50 percent. The reporting does not explain the operational details of the statement change or who will be affected first.
Why it matters
The RBI announced that SEBI-registered depositories will be allowed to include customer deposits in statements by late 2026, and the same summary says the MPC raised the repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.50 percent. The reporting links the policy change to deposit reporting and to borrowing costs, but gives no implementation detail beyond the timing. The impact is likely on depositories, banks and customers.
