*AI Adoption in Banking & Financial Services: OZG Digital Events (2026)*

Are you ready to navigate the future of AI in banking and finance sector? The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has unveiled its FREE-AI framework, a comprehensive 26-point roadmap to responsibly integrate artificial intelligence into the financial sector. At the upcoming Digital Event, we will unpack this guideline in depth and translate it into practical steps for (chartered accountants, company secretaries, compliance officers, fintech engineers, and legal professionals).

At its core, FREE-AI focuses on ethical AI deployment. A key pillar of the framework is AI Kosh, RBI’s proposed centralized data infrastructure platform. Think of it as a national repository of curated, anonymized financial datasets for AI training and testing. During the event, we will explore how banks, NBFCs, , and their advisors can use to build and validate models while staying compliant with the Act, data localization expectations, and sectoral privacy obligations. This will be especially relevant for professionals drafting data sharing agreements, consent frameworks, and internal data governance policies.

For compliance officers, CAs/CSs in practice, and legal advisors registered at the platform, the event will include ready-to-use checklists and draft clause ideas. These will cover multilingual AI models that operate across Hindi, English, regional languages, and dialects, and the associated risks around misinterpretation, mis-selling, and disclosure obligations. We will also address liability architecture: allocation of responsibility between the regulated entity, the AI vendor, cloud service providers, and outsourcing partners; implications for contractual drafting; and potential use of insurance covers, indemnities, and limitation of liability provisions under evolving regulatory expectations.

*FEMA Compounding Application Procedure — OZG Digital Events (2026)*

Discover the intricacies of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) compounding application process in this specialized session, meticulously tailored for legal professionals and compliance officers. Hosted by Digital Events, this immersive workshop equips participants with actionable expertise on navigating FEMA contraventions through the streamlined portal, RBI hearings, and critical post-approval compliance.

OZG Digital Events demystifies online filing via the RBI's PRAVAAH portal, introduced under the Foreign Exchange (Compounding Proceedings) Rules, 2024. Legal experts guide attendees through registration, document uploads—including FIRCs, filings, board resolutions, and contravention memorandums—and fee payments of Rs. 10,000 via NEFT, RTGS, or demand draft. This digital shift from physical submissions enhances efficiency, allowing suo moto applications or responses to RBI notices, with real-time tracking for faster adjudication.

Delve into RBI hearing protocols where compounding authorities scrutinize applications for gravity of contravention, applicant history, and rectification measures. OZG Digital Sessions cover powers to summon records, mandate corrective actions like unwinding transactions, and structured formats for disclosures on violation nature, amounts, and post-breach compliance. Compliance officers gain strategies to address queries, ensuring hearings lead to compounding orders rather than adjudication or prosecution referrals.

Post-approval, participants master penalty payments into updated RBI accounts, ED undertakings to report parallel proceedings, and Form approvals resumption. OZG Digital Events highlights pitfalls like prior filings (e.g., FDI reports) pending compounding, with checklists for record-keeping and audit trails. Attendees leave empowered to implement robust FEMA frameworks, minimizing recurrence through proactive governance.
