We need to produce a professional original news article, 300-500 words, SEO optimized, human-like, no AI style, clear structure, with analysis. Title and summary given. Must output only the SEO-optimized content (the article). Should include title? Probably yes, but they gave title and summary as separate. Likely they want article with title and summary? The instruction: "Write a professional original news article. Requirements: ... Title: ... Summary: ... Structure: ... Return only the SEO-optimized content." So we need to output the article content, presumably including title and summary? Usually they'd want the article with title and summary included. But they said "Return only the SEO-optimized content." Could be just the article body. However they gave Title and Summary as part of the prompt; maybe they want us to incorporate them. Safer to include Title at top, then Summary (maybe as a lead paragraph), then the article body with sections.

We need 300-500 words. Let's aim ~380 words.

We need SEO optimized: include keywords like RBI, data governance framework, banks, NBFCs, data risk management, data lifecycle controls, board-level committee, feedback due Aug 17, etc. Use them naturally.

Human-like writing, no AI style: avoid overly formal robotic tone; use varied sentence lengths, some colloquial but still professional.

Structure: Introduction, Key Developments, Industry Analysis, Future Outlook, Conclusion.

We'll produce sections with headings maybe.

Let's draft ~380 words.

Word count: Let's count roughly.

I'll write:

Title line: RBI Urgently Seeks Tougher Data Rules for Banks, NBFCs – Feedback Due Aug 17

Then maybe a summary paragraph: The Reserve Bank of India has proposed a new data governance framework... (like given).

Then sections.

Let's write ~380 words.

Now count.

I'll write and then count.

RBI Urgently Seeks Tougher Data Rules for Banks, NBFCs – Feedback Due Aug 17

The Reserve Bank of India has proposed a new data governance framework aimed at strengthening data risk management for banks and non‑bank financial companies (NBFCs). The draft calls for robust data lifecycle controls, a board‑level oversight committee, and stricter reporting standards. Stakeholders have until August 17 to submit comments.

**Key Developments**
The RBI’s discussion paper outlines three core pillars. First, institutions must classify data according to sensitivity and apply encryption, access logs, and retention policies throughout its life. Second, a dedicated data risk committee, chaired by an independent board member, will review breaches, audit findings, and compliance metrics quarterly. Third, the framework introduces mandatory incident‑notification timelines—within six hours of detection—to the regulator and affected customers. The RBI also proposes a centralized data‑risk repository where banks and NBFCs can share anonymized threat intelligence, a move intended to improve sector‑wide resilience.

**Industry Analysis**
Analysts say the proposal reflects growing concerns over cyber‑attacks that have targeted Indian lenders in the past year. By forcing a board‑level focus, the RBI hopes to elevate data governance from an IT issue to a strategic risk. However, industry bodies warn that the requirements could strain smaller NBFC
