The guideline

Use a combination of both uppercase and lowercase letters, like, ahBjBh

Use both numbers and symbols such as AjnGH98@k

Use minimum 8 characters to ensure adequate security. i.e. AjhUIj@0

Do not use any common dictionary words, like, it islocked or thisismypassword

Do not use any memorable keywords like ‘abcde’ or ‘wxyz’ or ‘qwerty’

Do not keep easy traceable password like ‘abcdefgh’ or ‘12345678’ or ‘abcd1234’

Do not use your name as a password like ‘Kaushik123’ or ‘Kaushik@1234’

Do not use your date of birth as the password like ‘15061985’ or ‘15June1989’

And finally, change your password once in a month, and make it a habit.

Bottom line

In FY21 Reserve Bank of India (RBI) reported bank loan frauds amounting to Rs 1.38 trillion, down by almost 26% from over Rs 1.85 trillion rupees in FY20.

Since 2009 in India reported banking fraud worth Rs 5,291 trillion took place in the country, according to RBI.
