This episode covers the latest regulatory changes impacting Data Sharing, UAPA, Regulatory Sandbox, Data Protection, and Financial Innovation sectors in India.

Key updates include the Department of Telecommunications' mandate on continuous SIM binding for Account-Based Communication Services (ABCS) to prevent SIM-related frauds, requiring session logouts every six hours and re-linking through QR codes within 90 days. Another major highlight is the introduction of a Standard Operating Procedure for the removal of Non-Consensual Intimate Images (NCII), obligating intermediaries to act swiftly within 24 hours upon complaints and deploy crawler technology for proactive content takedown.

The Reserve Bank of India is also reshaping banking supervision with an emphasis on technology-neutral, risk-based frameworks focusing on operational resilience, cyber readiness, and AI governance. Additionally, SEBI's new guidelines formalize data sharing protocols for custodians, promoting data confidentiality and compliance.
