RBI Mandates Use of PRAVAAH Portal for Regulatory Applications

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has introduced the PRAVAAH (Platform for Regulatory Application, Validation And Authorisation) portal to digitize and streamline the submission of applications for regulatory approvals, licenses, and authorisations (accessible [here]). Effective from May 1, 2025, all applicants, including Regulated Entities (REs), are required to file their applications via PRAVAAH using the designated forms.

For applicants unable to access the portal directly, submissions can still be made to the RBI, which will internally route them through PRAVAAH (accessible [here]). The portal features real-time tracking via SMS and email, supports submission of additional information, and provides a user manual, FAQs, and instructional videos to assist users.
