Case brief
RBI imposed a monetary penalty of ₹3 lakh on Delhi Nagrik Sehkari Bank Limited, New Delhi. The action was for non-compliance with RBI directions on interest rates on deposits.
Impact
The bank must absorb the monetary penalty and address the compliance deficiencies identified by RBI. The order does not, on its face, impose a new operational restriction on customers, but it signals supervisory concern over adherence to RBI directions on deposit interest rates.
