Case brief
RBI has imposed a ₹11 lakh penalty on Arvind Sahakari Bank Ltd., Katol, Maharashtra. The action follows non-compliance with RBI directions on housing finance for UCBs and interest rates on deposits.
Impact
The bank must absorb the financial penalty and remain exposed to any further regulatory action RBI may initiate for the same or related compliance lapses. The order does not invalidate customer transactions, but it signals continued supervisory scrutiny over the bank's lending and deposit-interest practices.
Why RBI acted
Regulatory basis
