Key facts examiners test from this unit

  1. BCSBI lineage: CPPAPS (Tarapore, Nov 2003) → BCSBI 18-2-2006 (RBI + banks); independent autonomous watchdog; VOLUNTARY code; NOT a grievance forum; dissolved per RBI Annual Report 25-8-2020.
  2. Two codes: Customers (1-7-2006, released by Governor Y.V. Reddy; revised Aug 2009/2014/Jan 2018; 10 regional languages) and MSEs (May 2008; 11 languages; MSMED Act 2006 definitions).

Law update, September 2026. Unchanged under RB-IOS 2026 (from 1 July 2026): appeals still go to the Executive Director in charge of CEPD.
