The RBI circular dated April 22, 2025, mandated that all scheduled commercial and cooperative banks migrate to the .bank.in domain by October 31, 2025. However, this is not a sudden shift, many banks began operations, phased integrations, and user-awareness campaigns running into 2026 to ensure a completely seamless and secure transition without disrupting access.
The .bank.in domain is managed by the Institute for Development and Research in Banking Technology (IDRBT) and strictly implements advanced security protocols, including DNSSEC and high-assurance certificates.
What remains unchanged?
- No change in website content or services
- No change in customer’s user ID, password, or login process
- No change to any existing banking arrangements
This is a great initiative by Reserve Bank of India to reduce digital frauds and to make banking websites more secure & easily recognisable for customers.
