RBI imposed a monetary penalty under Section 58G(1)(b) read with Section 58B(5)(aa) of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934. The company was found to have not complied with RBI directions on 'Acquisition of Shareholding or Control' by failing to obtain prior written permission for a shareholding change exceeding 26% of its paid-up equity capital.
Severity Assessment
A monetary penalty of ₹1 lakh falls in the lowest monetary band, and there is no separate operational restriction beyond the fine.
The company must bear the penalty and remain exposed to any further action RBI may choose to initiate for the same compliance lapse. The order does not state any operational restriction on customers or business activities, but it underscores the need to secure RBI approval before similar ownership changes in future.
