Case brief
RBI imposed a monetary penalty of Rs 10,000 on Budge Budge Nangi Cooperative Bank Ltd., Budge Budge, West Bengal. The penalty was for non-compliance with RBI's exposure norm directions for urban cooperative banks.
Impact
The bank must absorb the monetary penalty; the release does not describe any additional operational restriction or suspension. The action is backward-looking, relating to past compliance failures, and does not itself impose a new cap or ban on current operations beyond the penalty.
Why RBI acted
Regulatory basis
