For chief compliance officers · RBI master directions & circulars

It’s 5pm on a Friday. A 40-page circular just landed. Monday, the board asks: are we affected?

RegulatoryFabric turns every RBI Master Direction and circular into a living model — so you can see what changed, what it means for your institution, and what to do. Every conclusion traceable to the source. In minutes, not days.

The public interface is free. No sales call required to look at your regulation.

Sound familiar?

We built this for the people who sign.

The people personally accountable when a circular is missed, misread, or misunderstood.

The colleague who “knew” the KYC Master Direction resigned in April. Nobody else can answer the questions she used to answer.

The law-firm summary arrived Thursday. The circular was issued Monday. It says “may be impacted,” which is not an answer you can take to a board.

Your team reviewed a circular that amended the Outsourcing Master Direction — before realising the related circular that changed its scope had already been issued. Twice.

What you do today

Understanding a circular shouldn’t look like this.

None of this is your team’s fault. The tools never matched the job.

What we build

Every circular raises three questions. One model answers all three.

01

What does this circular say?

Every provision, structured and sourced from the RBI website. The text is the text — no interpretation mixed in until you want it.

provision-by-provision · sourced

02

What changed from before?

A word-level diff against the version it amends — with the change classified: new obligation, tightened timeline, widened scope — and linked to the full amendment chain.

diff · classified · amendment chain

03

What do we need to do?

Obligations extracted: who’s affected, what’s required, by when. Your team reviews and decides. The system shows its work.

obligation · deadline · applies-to

Nothing appears without a source. Every answer links back to the exact provision — so the call is yours to own, not ours to assert.

Why us

Why not the tools you already have?

Because none of them answer the question you actually get asked.

GRC platforms
They manage workflows after you’ve understood the regulation. They don’t help you understand it.
Law-firm summaries
Written for everyone, so they’re written for no one. Late, general, and untraceable to the provision.
PDF diff tools
They show that text changed. Not what it means — or whether it applies to your institution.
Generic AI chat
Confident, sometimes wrong — and you can’t stake your name on something you can’t verify.

RegulatoryFabric is the only one that shows its work — every conclusion traces to the exact provision.

This is not a mock-up of a dream. It’s the public feed we’re building — and it’s free. Start with the KYC Master Direction and its amendment chain; every other RBI Master Direction follows.

Where we start

Inch wide, mile deep: the Reserve Bank of India.

We’re building where it hurts most — all 47 RBI Master Directions and the circulars that amend them, provision by provision, linked into one model. Singapore, the UK, and the US come next.

What we are not

We are not a GRC suite, a document reader, or an AI oracle. We’re the regulatory layer — the source of truth between the regulator and your team. Understanding first. Workflow later.
