RBI’s new draft proposal could change how phone EMI defaults work in India. 📱⚖️ Under the proposed rules, banks and lenders may no longer be allowed to instantly lock financed smartphones after a missed EMI. Instead: • A structured notice period may become mandatory • Immediate blocking may not be allowed • Essential features like calls, internet, SOS, and alerts may continue working • Privacy protections may restrict access to personal data The proposal aims to balance borrower protection with lender recovery rights. But remember: This is still a DRAFT framework, not a final RBI rule yet. Public comments remain open until 31 May 2026. Would this make EMI financing safer for users or riskier for lenders? 🤔
