TRANSPARENT BY DESIGN
How to interpret this assessment.
The same rubric for every question.
- 0 · Not established. There is no defined practice yet.
- 1 · Informal. People act, but the approach relies on individual knowledge.
- 2 · Documented. An agreed process exists; consistent operation is not yet evidenced.
- 3 · Operating with evidence. The process is used, with current records and review evidence.
- ? · Not sure. You need to check how this works or what evidence exists.
Score = points earned ÷ (applicable questions × 3) × 100, rounded to the nearest whole number. All questions have equal weight. “Not sure” earns zero points and remains in the denominator. Unanswered questions prevent a final score. The outsourcing question alone allows a confirmed exclusion; it is removed from both the overall and area denominators.
A starting point for improvement.
Planning labels are editorial aids: below 40, establish foundations; 40–69, strengthen consistency; 70–99, test and evidence; 100, maintain and re-test. These are not regulatory thresholds or validated benchmarks. Actions prioritise the three lowest-scoring areas, using uncertainty as the tie-breaker, then the area order shown above.
This original questionnaire assesses operating practices, not compliance with every applicable rule. Bank category, NBFC classification and layer, activities and current requirements need a separate applicability assessment. No documents are reviewed and no independent assurance is provided.
Only anonymous start/completion counts are sent while you use the assessment; page views and enquiry activity are also counted. Answers stay in memory on this page until you explicitly share them in an enquiry. Privacy notice ↗

The RBI document addresses Upper and Middle Layer NBFCs; it should not be assumed to impose identical requirements on every NBFC. Check the current applicable directions and amendments for your institution.
