GUIDELINES FOR E-BANKING
You may have been aware that the Reserve Bank of India created a Working Group on Internet Banking to look into various elements of the practice (I-banking). The Group had concentrated on three main i-banking areas, including (i) technological and security challenges, (ii) legal difficulties, and (iii) regulatory and supervisory issues.
The Groups report is enclosed in its entirety. The Group’s suggestions for a gradual implementation have been adopted by RBI. The following recommendations are therefore made for banks to adopt. Additionally, banks are informed that they may refer to the original study for specific advice on several concerns.
STANDARDS FOR TECHNOLOGY AND SECURITY
- Controls over physical access should be tightly enforced. All information systems and the locations where they are kept should have physical security to protect them from both internal and external threats.
- The tasks of a network and database administrator should be specified by banks.
- The Board of Directors should have properly authorised a security policy for banks. The responsibility for information systems security should be divided between the Information Technology Division, which actually implements the computer systems, and the Security Officer / Group. The information systems will also be audited by an information systems auditor.
- Logical access restrictions for data, systems, applications, utilities, communications connections, libraries, system software, etc. should be implemented by banks. User IDs, passwords, smart cards, and other biometric technologies are examples of logical access control methods.
- To prevent network incursions that could overcome the proxy server, all systems supporting dial-up services through modem on the same LAN as the application server should be segregated.
- It is also advised that all superfluous services, such as FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and telnet, be turned off on the application server. Separating the application server and email server is a good idea.
- Periodic system penetration testing should be conducted by the information security officer and the information system auditor and should include the following:
- Utilising password-cracking software to try and hack passwords.
- Check the programmes for rear door traps.
- Use DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) and DoS (Denial of Service) attacks to try to overload the system.
- Before employing the systems and apps for routine operations, security infrastructure should be thoroughly evaluated. In order to fix bugs and security holes, banks should update their systems by applying patches made available by developers. They should also upgrade to newer versions that offer better security and control.
- Controls over physical access should be tightly enforced. All information systems and the locations where they are kept should be physically secure from both internal and external threats.
- For legal reasons, all bank applications should have adequate record-keeping infrastructure. All sent and received messages may need to be kept in both encrypted and unencrypted form.https://youtu.be/L_dtEVf0TfM
LEGAL CONCERNS
- In light of the current regulatory framework, banks have a duty to not only verify a customer’s identity but also to inquire about their integrity and reputation. Therefore, even while requests for opening accounts via the Internet may be allowed, accounts should only be opened following a formal introduction and a physical check of the customer’s identity.
- Consumer rights in India are outlined in the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, which also applies to banking services. Currently, bilateral agreements between banks and clients govern the rights and obligations of customers using Internet banking services. Banks’ liability to customers on account of unauthorised transfers through hacking, denial of service due to technological failure, etc. needs to be evaluated in light of banking practises and rights enjoyed by customers in traditional banking. Banks that offer Internet banking should insure themselves against such risks.
- There is very little room for the banks to respond to stop-payment requests from clients in an Internet banking scenario. As a result, banks must inform clients in unambiguous terms when and under what conditions any stop-payment instructions may be granted.

ISSUES WITH REGULATION & SUPERVISION
- Only banks with a physical presence in India, an Indian licence, and an Indian supervision body would be allowed to provide Internet banking services to Indian citizens. Therefore, for the time being, neither banks nor virtual banks with corporate headquarters outside of India and no physical presence there are allowed to provide Internet banking services to Indian citizens.
- The products ought to be available solely to account holders and not in other countries.
- The services should only offer goods in local currencies.
- Indian banks’ abroad branches would be allowed to provide Internet banking services to their international clients as long as they also satisfy the home supervisor in addition to the host supervisor.
- Every violation of security systems and procedures must be reported by banks to the RBI, which may then choose to commission a special audit or inspection of those banks.
- It has become important to build up “Inter-bank Payment Gateways” to settle such transactions as e-commerce has grown in popularity. The Group recommends that the framework for setting up payment gateways and the protocol for transactions between the customer, the bank, and the portal be adopted.
- Banks are required to use a disclosure form to disclose to customers the risks, obligations, and liabilities associated with conducting business online. The banks ought to make available online any recently released financial results.
- Net and gross settlement capabilities are required for inter-bank payment gateways. Whenever possible, all settlement should take place within one day and in real time.
