Raju and the forty theives

Raju and the forty theives is a pictorial mode booklet, released by RBI to create awareness among the public and customers, across all age groups with different education levels, including, inter alia, school children, young adults, semi-literates and senior citizens, etc., irrespective of their place of habitation. The booklet is a lucid pictorial depiction of the modus operandi observed in fraudulent financial incidents and aims to help learn from common mistakes and take steps to protect themselves and their hard earned money from fraudsters.

As the name suggests, ‘Raju and the Forty Thieves’ covers forty stories providing glimpses of fraudulent acts reported to the Bank , including the RBI Ombudsmen and the Consumer Education and Protection Department (CEPD) and provides simple tips about Do’s and Don’ts as safeguards against such incidents. Raju is a typical gullible citizen, and, in these stories, he appears in different characters/roles, be it that of a senior citizen, a farmer or a happy-go-lucky individual, etc., to enable different stakeholders identify themselves with him in different walks of life.
