The Reserve Bank had constituted the Regulations Review Authority 2.0 (RRA 2.0) in 2021 to review the regulatory prescriptions with a view to their simplification and ease of implementation. Based on detailed deliberation, RRA 2.0 finalized its report on June 10, 2022. One of the important recommendations of the RRA 2.0 report was:

“Creation of Regulatory Handbook(s) containing regulations applicable to a set of Regulated Entities (REs) or on a particular subject may be explored by the regulatory departments. This would serve as a quick reference guide for the REs”.

2. Accordingly, the Department of Regulation (DoR) has compiled its regulatory instructions in an easily accessible handbook titled ‘Regulations at a Glance’ to provide a broad overview of the regulatory landscape across multiple dimensions of activities and entities. This handbook provides tabular summary of all major regulations issued by DoR and it has been organised in six chapters.

3. The handbook is intended primarily for ease of reference and to provide a high-level overview of the regulations for general understanding. For specific details of the concerned regulations, readers are advised to refer to the respective regulations issued through circulars/Master Circulars/Master Directions from time to time.

4. The handbook will be updated periodically.
