Indian banks are facing increased operational risks from deposit accounts due to the rise in mule accounts and money laundering, prompting stricter KYC checks and transaction monitoring. The RBI's MuleHunter.AI initiative aims to detect and eliminate these fraudulent accounts, with more banks joining the effort. Competition for deposits further complicates the screening process, requiring enhanced vigilance and staff training.
