The Reserve Bank of India has cautioned the country's non-bank finance companies against getting over-reliant on algo-based credit models or they may regret later.

Furthermore, it's evident that the risk thresholds set for certain product categories or segments, such as unsecured lending, in some entities, are unreasonably high for long-term sustainability. I trust that risk managers will conduct a thorough evaluation of any potential risks accumulating in their portfolios.
