RBI Mandates '.bank.in' Domain for Banks by 31st October 2025

The RBI (Reserve Bank of India) has mandated that banks must have their presence in the .bank domain by October 31, 2025. This directive is aimed at enhancing the security and trust of online banking activities. The .bank domain is a restricted domain space specifically for verified financial institutions, providing an additional layer of authentication and reducing the risk of phishing and other cyber threats. By mandating the adoption of this domain, the RBI seeks to create a safer online environment for banking customers and further strengthen the digital infrastructure of the Indian banking sector. Banks are required to migrate their online presence to this secure domain within the specified timeframe.
