What changed

The RBI has published the Supervisory Data Quality Index (sDQI) for Scheduled Commercial Banks covering December 2025. The sDQI evaluates banks on four dimensions: Accuracy, Timeliness, Completeness, and Consistency in submitting supervisory returns to the RBI. This follows the framework established under the Master Direction on Filing of Supervisory Returns 2024.

Scheduled Commercial Banks should review the published sDQI methodology and results to assess their data quality performance. Compliance teams should ensure supervisory return submissions meet the quality standards measured by the index. The index serves as a benchmarking tool rather than imposing immediate new compliance obligations.

What to do next

Review the sDQI methodology and scoring criteria
Evaluate current supervisory return submission processes against the four quality dimensions (Accuracy, Timeliness, Completeness, Consistency)
Identify and address any gaps in data quality practices to improve future sDQI scores
