It's clear the RBI's focus on CFSS aims to enhance both regulatory compliance and customer experience, which are often intertwined. The requirement for a user-friendly digital platform and 'anytime/anywhere access' is a significant step towards modernizing NBFC services. I wonder if the biggest challenge will be migrating legacy data without disrupting existing operations, ensuring a smooth transition similar to navigating obstacles in slope unblocked.
