Continuing with her series on regulatory sandboxes, Associate Tanusha Verma writes:
The inter-regulatory working group, that was set-up by the RBI in 2016 to study regulatory issues in fintech and digital banking, released its recommendations on regulatory sandboxes/innovation hubs in February 2018. The panel recommended that the appropriate body to take up this regulatory initiative is the Institute for Development and Research in Banking Technology (IDRBT) (the research and development unit of RBI) with active collaboration from the RBI. Further, the RBI also intends to set-up a data science lab to understand and keep up with the innovation in the digital lending space. The panel has stressed on the need for data protection and privacy laws in the country to be able to regulate the fin-tech industry. Similarly, the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) has proposed a regulatory sandbox for fin-tech in the insurance space. While the approach adopted in jurisdictions across the world range from a light-touch, to disclosure, to tight supervision (See: lnkd.in/f_RUXFi) India has not chosen its path yet.

Policy Lead Nehaa Chaudhari's last piece of writing for 2018 was an article on the constitutionality of the electronic surveillance order issued by the Indian Ministry of Home Affairs. This was carried by two national dailies, the Deccan Chronicle(www.deccanchronicle.com/360-degree/301218/licence-to-snoop-the-constitutionality-of-mha-surveilla...) and the Asian Age (www.asianage.com/360-degree/301218/the-constitutionality-of-mha-surveillance-order.html). Nehaa and Tuhina Joshi had also jointly written about this issue in an earlier piece for Scroll (scroll.in/article/906764/centres-order-on-computer-surveillance-is-backed-by-law-but-the-law-lack...).
Surveillance law reform in India is long overdue.
