Swaminathan also outlined the RBI’s expectations from the Board/Top Management of the regulated entities by emphasising that a well-functioning Internal Ombudsman mechanism is beneficial for all stakeholders.
The Deputy Governor emphasised the role played by the Internal Ombudsmen as 'vigilant observers and facilitators in a fair and just dispute resolution process, for ensuring effective and impartial redress of customer grievances within the regulated entity itself.'
The conference was attended by Managing Directors & Chief Executive Officers, Executive Directors in charge of customer service verticals, Internal Ombudsmen, Principal Nodal Officers of select regulated entities from among Banks, Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs), and Credit Information Companies (CICs), and senior officials from the RBI.
