According to the minister, the government is taking action against apps that defraud people by offering loans. The minister stated that she has met with representatives from the RBI, the finance ministry, and the corporate affairs ministry to discuss the issue. So far in FY23, the RBI has received 13,000 complaints about digital lending apps from banks and NBFCs.
