Synopsis<\/strong>: Bank fraud cases in India fell sharply by 34% in 2024\u201325, reflecting a strong monitoring by banks. However, the total amount involved doubled as per RBI reports.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

According to the RBI report, the total number of frauds went down. Nevertheless, the money involved in fraud went up. This was mostly because the reexamination and the reporting of 122 fraud cases that amounted to \u20b918,336 crore were done afresh after compliance with the Hon\u2019ble Supreme Court’s judgment had been assured. <\/p>
