ABSTRACT
In India, digital lending has been growing at an exponential rate in recent years, transforming how individuals and small firms obtain credit. Financial services are now more easily available, particularly to the unbanked and underbanked communities, owing to the convenience with which loans may now be obtained through online platforms. But this quick growth also presented a number of challenges, such as unethical conduct, minimal consumer protection, and privacy issues. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) established Digital Lending Guidelines in September 2022, a key turning point in India's financial ecosystem, to address these concerns and build a robust digital lending ecosystem.
