Case brief

RBI imposed a ₹2 crore penalty on Deutsche Bank AG for non-compliance with certain provisions of its Interest Rate on Deposits Directions, 2016. The bank was penalized after inspection and a show-cause process confirmed the violation.

Impact

Deutsche Bank AG must absorb the financial penalty; the release does not describe any operational restriction or licence impact. The action is backward-looking and does not directly impose new conduct obligations beyond the penalized compliance lapse, though it signals RBI’s enforcement stance on adherence to deposit interest directions.
