Compliance & Regulation

Compliance in Indian fintech is no longer a periodic audit — it's a real-time operational requirement. Every onboarding decision, every credit approval, every transaction flagged or cleared has to stand up to RBI, SEBI, MeitY, and sectoral regulator scrutiny. The compliance teams that scale are the ones that treat compliance as infrastructure, not paperwork.

This hub covers the operational side of Indian fintech compliance: AML frameworks in practice, customer due diligence (CDD) and enhanced due diligence, politically-exposed-person (PEP) screening, the MNRL framework for mobile number revocation, sectoral guidelines for lending, payments, RMG, and insurance, and how compliance obligations evolve as RBI refines its guidance on AI, data use, and customer consent.

Deepvue supports compliance workflows through identity verification, MNRL API access, business verification, and continuous-monitoring signals. We've built integrations specifically designed to satisfy audit trails — every decision logged, every data pull consented, every flag documented.

The featured content below walks through specific compliance topics: what RBI's most recent AI guidance means in practice, how to structure AML workflows that scale, how to operationalize PEP screening without burying the ops team, and how compliance officers are adapting to continuous-monitoring expectations.
