DPDP training for Banking & fintech
KYC files, account data and repayment history are high-value targets, and recovery practices are under close scrutiny.
What personal data do Banking & fintech teams handle?
The Banking & fintech programme starts with the data your people actually touch, so every lesson feels like their own job.
- KYC documents
- PAN & Aadhaar refs
- Account data
- Credit history
- Contact lists
- 01A collection agent calls a borrower’s friends and family.
- 02KYC scans saved to a branch desktop’s Downloads folder.
- 03Loan applicants’ numbers reused for a credit card campaign.
What does DPDP expect from Banking & fintech teams?
Purpose limits in recovery and cross-sell
Data collected for a loan can’t quietly fund a card campaign. Consent covers a specified purpose, and staff must know where it ends.
KYC files and local copies
Downloads folders, email attachments and printed scans are the usual leak path. Teach minimisation and secure disposal.
Agents and partners are your risk too
Collection agencies and DSAs act on your behalf. Rule 6 expects contracts with safeguards, and their people need the same training.
Summaries of the DPDP Act, 2023 and DPDP Rules, 2025 for training purposes. They are not legal advice.
