🪔 Festive offers may look tempting, but beware of the hidden sparks of cyber fraud!

⚠️ Scammers often use fake discounts, festive deals and phishing links to steal your personal and financial information.

✅ Always verify the authenticity of a website or offer before clicking on links or making payments.

🔐 This #Diwali, let your celebrations sparkle, not your personal data fall into the wrong hands.

Think before you click. Verify before you pay.

🚨 Beware of Fake Claims!

A message being circulated on WhatsApp and other social media platforms falsely claims that the RBI has announced new cheque book rules, coming into effect from January 1, 2027.

It has come to the notice of the Reserve Bank of India that a message is circulating on social media claiming that the standard Cheque Truncation System (CTS) cheque books currently in use will change from December 31, 2026 and the new cheque books featuring updated security standards will come into effect from January 1, 2027.
 
It is clarified that at present Reserve Bank of India is not introducing any such measures with regard to the CTS cheque books. As such, the message is factually incorrect and misleading.
 
Members of public are requested to rely only on the information published by RBI from time to time in such matters.
