What it is

In the Indian financial context, SAR means System Audit Report, the formal regulator-facing output of a mandated system or cyber audit. RBI requires SARs from payment aggregators, payment system operators and IT-intensive regulated entities. It is not the AML Suspicious Activity Report.

Who must comply

Payment aggregators and gateways, authorised payment-system operators, prepaid instrument issuers and other RBI-directed entities; SEBI and IRDAI cyber-audit deliverables serve an equivalent function.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not here. In RBI/SEBI/IRDAI IT compliance, SAR is the System Audit Report, a technical and security audit deliverable, distinct from the AML Suspicious Activity Report concept.

For cyber and system scope, regulators expect a CERT-In empanelled auditing organisation, with the lead auditor and head of the firm signing the certificate and an independent reviewer attesting the report.

Most commonly RBI, for payment aggregators, payment-system operators and prepaid-instrument issuers, with SEBI and IRDAI cyber-audit deliverables serving an equivalent function. We scope each SAR to the exact directive that governs your entity.
