Automated Data Flow (ADF) from banks to Reserve Bank of India

1. WHAT IS THE BACKGROUND FOR ADF?
In several of its functions, Reserve Bank of India relies on data submitted by banks and quality of data is of great importance. In order to meet the need for correct and consistent data, the Reserve Bank of India has initiated the project on Automated Data Flow (ADF).
2. WHAT IS THE OBJECTIVE OF ADF?
ADF seeks to ensure submission of correct and consistent data from the banks straight from their systems to Reserve Bank without any manual intervention.
3. WHY IS ADF THOUGHT OF NOW?
With CBS in banks, it is felt that time has come to utilize CBS system capabilities to meet requirements like MIS, ADF, etc, in addition to regular transactional activities.
4. WHETHER ANY SPECIFIC APPROACH HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED?
No specific approach has been recommended for achieving ADF due to the reason that various banks are at different levels of IT and Process maturity. However, the Approach Paper on ADF clearly articulates the common end state for achieving the objectives of ADF.
5. WHETHER ANY PARTICULAR TECHNOLOGY OR PROCESS HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED FOR ADF?
No specific Technology, Vendor, Service Provider or Process has been recommended for achieving ADF and it has been left to the banks to decide on these issues on the basis of internal requirements.
