when financial products\u2014especially insurance\u2014are sold:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Without explaining key terms and risks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>By misrepresenting the product (e.g., insurance sold as FD)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Without assessing customer suitability or need<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>By forcing or indirectly pressuring customers<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Common

practices<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customers were left proving mis-selling\u2014often without documentation<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>This gap allowed mis-selling to flourish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div

must:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFocus on their core business and stop mis-selling financial products.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following this, RBI issued <strong>draft guidelines on mis-selling<\/strong>, signalling a major shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What RBI Is Now Making Clear:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Banks <strong>cannot escape responsibility<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong> Selling non-bank products irresponsibly is unacceptable<br>Customers must be refunded for mis-sold products<br>Compensation may be payable for losses caused<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the first time RBI has
