Regulatory Reporting Autopilot

How a leading private sector bank automated RBI, SEBI, and IRDAI periodic reporting and cut compliance team effort on report generation by 60-70%.

01 PROBLEM STATEMENT

Regulatory Reporting is Consuming your Best Compliance Talent

A leading private sector bank with obligations across RBI, SEBI, and IRDAI spent a disproportionate share of its compliance team’s time every month building periodic reports from scratch. Officers pulled data manually from CBS and GL systems, formatted it into regulator-specific templates, drafted narrative sections by hand, and chased approvals under tight submission deadlines. Every quarter end became a crunch. Late submission risk was constant. And when auditors asked questions, tracing a number back to its source data took days, sometimes weeks.

Challenges in Regulatory Reporting

Manual

Report generation

Every periodic report built from
scratch by pulling CBS and GL
data by hand into
regulator-specific templates.

Crunch

Quarter-end pressure

Month-end and quarter-end
reporting cycles overwhelmed
compliance teams, creating
late submission risk and officer
burnout.

Weeks

Auditor query response

Tracing a reported figure back
to source data required manual
searches across CBS, GL, and
spreadsheet records.

No Trail

Submission audit log

No structured record linking
each submitted figure to the
source transaction, calculation,
and officer who approved it.

03 SOLUTION OVERVIEW

STAR’s Approach – AINE Regulatory Reporting Autopilot

STAR Systems deployed the AINE Regulatory Reporting Autopilot on-premise within the bank’s IBM PowerVS environment. The platform connects to IBM i DB2 CBS and GL views via scheduled batch extract, automatically generates periodic reports for RBI, SEBI, and IRDAI in the required formats including XBRL taxonomy mapping, and uses Gemini to draft the narrative sections. Compliance officers review and approve the AI draft before submission. Every report and its source data trail is retained for 7 years on-premises. STAR updates regulatory format templates within 5 business days of any RBI circular change.

04 WORKFLOW PROCESS

Step-By-Step: How a Regulatory Report is Generated and Submitted

Step 1 – Data Extraction: Scheduled batch pulls GL and CBS data from IBM i DB2 views. No manual export or spreadsheet required.

Step 2 – Report Generation: Platform maps data to regulator-specific templates – RBI, SEBI, IRDAI including XBRL taxonomy formatting.

Step 3 – Narrative Drafting: Gemini drafts the narrative and commentary sections of each report based on the extracted data and prior submissions.

Step 4 – Compliance Review: Compliance officer reviews the AI-generated draft, edits narrative if needed, and approves before submission.

Step 5 – Submission and Log: Approved report submitted to regulator. Submission logged with source data trace, timestamp, and officer sign-off.

Step 6 – Audit Trail Retained: Full report, source data, and approval chain retained for 7 years on IBM PowerVS. Auditor queries answered in minutes.

Quarter-end: four reports due simultaneously. Team works weekends. One submission delayed. RBI sends a query letter.	All four reports generated in parallel on schedule. Submissions dispatched before deadline. No query letters.
RBI auditor queries a figure in last year’s return. Officer searches spreadsheets for 2 weeks and cannot find the source transaction.	Auditor query resolved in minutes full source data trace, calculation log, and approval sign-off available on IBM PowerVS.
