So far 1.4 crore users have downloaded this app and are contributing to information on 2000 fraud incidents per day. The number of users has been increasing rapidly and the mandate to install the app was meant to accelerate this process and make the app available to less aware citizens easily. Just in last one day, 6 lakh citizens have registered for downloading the App which is a 10x increase in its uptake. This is affirmation of faith by citizens on this App for protecting themselves provided to them by the Government.

This move addresses the rising concerns over online payment fraud and counterfeit banking websites by providing a verified digital identity for Indian banks. Customers will find it easier to distinguish genuine bank portals from fake ones. The Institute for Development and Research in Banking Technology (IDRBT) will serve as the sole registrar for the domain, under the approval of NIXI and the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).

Here are the new official bank URLs after the RBI mandate:

ICICI Bank: https://www.icici.bank.in/,

HDFC Bank: https://www.hdfc.bank.in/,

Axis Bank: https://www.axis.bank.in/,

Kotak Mahindra Bank: https://www.kotak.bank.in/en/home.html

All existing services remain accessible, and old website links will automatically redirect to these new domain addresses.

Cybersecurity experts have advised users to always check that banking URLs end with “.bank.in” before logging in.

They also recommend avoiding search engine results or forwarded links to access banking portals and bookmarking the new official URLs to avoid phishing risks.

This domain migration is expected to greatly enhance digital banking security and authenticity in India.
