Banking executives from Rajasthan urged wider loan availability and tighter cyber‑fraud controls during the recent State Level Bankers' Conference (SLBC).
The State Level Bankers' Conference (SLBC) held this week saw senior bankers from Rajasthan press for policies that expand credit to underserved sectors. Participants highlighted the need for flexible lending criteria to support small enterprises and agriculture, which they say are vital for the state's growth.
In parallel, delegates warned that rising cyber‑fraud incidents are eroding consumer confidence in digital banking. They called for coordinated action among banks, regulators and technology providers to strengthen authentication, monitoring and rapid response mechanisms.
The meeting concluded with a consensus to draft a joint recommendation to the Reserve Bank of India, outlining both credit‑expansion measures and a framework for cyber‑risk mitigation tailored to Rajasthan's banking landscape.
