RBI Guidelines, Explained Simply for Bankers & Learners

NIRVAAN is an independent learning initiative that breaks down RBI guidelines into simple, practical language with examples and scenarios. Designed for bankers, students and professionals who are not in the compliance department but still work with regulations every day.

This website is purely for education and awareness. It does not provide consulting or advisory services and is not affiliated with the Reserve Bank of India or any bank / NBFC. For official requirements and implementation, always refer to the original RBI circulars and your institution’s internal policies.

RBI Topics Library (Learning View)

Start with a topic, not a circular number. Use the search and filters below to explore explanations of RBI guidelines in plain language. Each card is written as a learning note, not as legal or operational advice.

The topics listed below are based on public RBI guidelines and Master Directions. Always cross-check with the latest circulars on the RBI website.

How to use this site

NIRVAAN is meant to act as a study companion for RBI guidelines. It is especially useful for bankers who work in products, credit, branches, operations, collections, and risk – but are not part of the formal compliance function.

  • Pick a topic that matches your work area – Home loans, MSME, NBFC, Digital lending, etc.
  • Read the plain-language summary and examples to build conceptual clarity.
  • Use the “Where this usually applies” section to connect it to your day-to-day role.
  • Always refer back to the original RBI circular and your bank / NBFC policies before acting.

Important note

This platform does not provide professional consulting, opinions, or certifications on regulatory compliance. Nothing here overrides your organisation’s internal policies, product notes, or compliance interpretations.

Treat this as a learning and revision aid – similar to a textbook or training handout – not as an approval or official guidance.

About NIRVAAN Learning

NIRVAAN Learning is an independent initiative to make RBI guidelines more approachable for practitioners. The focus is on simple language, real-world examples, and product-centric thinking.

Many bankers interact with regulations indirectly – through product notes, internal circulars, audit comments, or training sessions. This site aims to bridge the gap between:

  • Regulatory language and day-to-day banking work
  • High-level circulars and ground-level use cases
  • Compliance expectations and product / process design

What this site is not

  • Not a substitute for your bank / NBFC’s compliance department
  • Not a provider of legal, regulatory, or consulting services
  • Not affiliated with the Reserve Bank of India or any institution

All content is based on publicly available RBI documents and aims to support learning, interviews, internal training, and self-study. Readers are encouraged to read the original circulars and Master Directions.

Feedback & Topic Requests

If you spot an error, want a clarification, or have a suggestion for a topic, you can send a message using this form. Feedback helps refine explanations and add more practical examples for learners.

This form is for feedback and learning requests only. It does not create a client–advisor relationship and is not a channel for formal regulatory queries.

Coming up next

Over time, more topics will be added – especially around home loans, MSME lending, digital lending journeys, NBFC regulations, and fair practices.

The goal is to build a structured learning path for:

  • New joiners in banks and NBFCs
  • Product and credit teams
  • Students preparing for banking and regulatory roles
