The 100-point framework evaluates nine parameters semi-annually, mandating early-warning mechanisms and real-time monitoring by February 2027. This move strengthens financial market stability amid rising cyber threats and aligns with global best practices for systemic risk mitigation. For competitive exams, it is a key regulatory development under financial sector reforms and cybersecurity governance.
