- Payment data must be stored in India
- Encryption at rest and in transit
- Audit trails for all financial transactions
- Regular security assessments required
Definitive Statement: RBI (Reserve Bank of India) guidelines govern the storage and processing of financial data, requiring localization and strict access controls for MCP servers.
Technical Context & Protocol Usage
- Detailed Explanation
- The RBI mandates that payment data must be stored exclusively in India. MCP servers handling financial transactions must comply with the RBI's data localization and security requirements, including encryption at rest and in transit, audit trails, and regular security assessments. Non-compliance can result in penalties and operational restrictions.
Format & Payload Metadata
Format: RBI circulars, audit logs
