RBI said they would continue to apply from March 15, 2021 to June 14, 2021, subject to review. The directions impose restrictions and/or ceilings on withdrawal and acceptance of deposits. RBI clarified that the directions are not to be construed as cancellation of the bank's licence, and the bank will continue to undertake banking business with restrictions.
