The goal is to ensure ease of identification of genuine banks for the customers.

I think this is very innovative and appreciable. What is your opinion?

Another domain FIN.IN will be brought for the rest of the financial sector too.

.gov.in is for government institutions.

Some banks are private and cooperatives as well, with no government ownership. Even other PSUs like IOCL, BSNL, etc. tend to have separate domain name and not gov.in. Thus .gov.in would be a misnomer. And Bank.in bypasses these irregularities and helps establish uniform identifier for all banks.

Is this for the corporate or PIB or both domains ?

RBI says it will be for all banks. It should be operational by April.

I think they will keep the current domain active and redirect everyone to the new one.

IMO, all banks coming on single domain name will help with regulation immensely and help tackle proliferation of fake addresses leading to cybercrimes.
I kinda like onlinesbi.sbi compared to onlinesbi.bank.in

I think state.bank.in will look cool too. B-)

No one can deny, fraudsters will always stay one step ahead and mass education is the only way to reduce frauds. However, in.com won’t be available to the scammer.
 
I won't trust both bank.in and fin.in
Who's records only show Details
REDACTED FOR PRIVACY

This should be any private institutions who will later try to govern banks and customers.

If I understood correctly, the government is in the process of creating a new TLD like .edu.in or .ac.in or .res.in. The TLD will now be .bank.in and .fin.in
So, banks will be able to create a domain in their names in this format - sbi.bank.in or axis.bank.in
What you have been checking for in the whois records is the domain named bank.in (the TLD being .in). The .in domain can be registered by anyone. These two new domains (.bank.in and .fin.in) would probably be available only through an exclusive registrar identified by the Govt., just like ERNET is the official registrar for .res.in, .ac.in and .edu.in.
Please correct me if I have understood you wrongly.
