The RBI Annual Report shows that frauds reported by banks and other financial institutions, in value terms, more than halved in the 2021-22 fiscal, despite the number of instances of frauds increasing by nearly a fourth. Do keep in mind that the RBI data considers frauds of Rs 1 lakh and above only.
While private sector banks reported maximum number of frauds, public sector banks contributed maximum to the fraud amount over the past three years.
