Consumers falling victims to internet frauds on their bank accounts will now be required to provide proof of having followed the new five key security guidelines to get reimbursed.
In order to get refunded, consumers must prove that they had kept their PINs secure and did not loan out their card to third parties.
Additionally, they must have anti-virus software installed on their PC, should check account balance regularly and report any incidents immediately.
Earlier, banks adopted their own rules while deciding to reimburse customers on phishing frauds.
