Case brief
RBI imposed a ₹10 lakh penalty on Gayatri Co-operative Urban Bank Ltd., Jagtial, Telangana. The action was for selling insurance products without adequate disclosure and transparency, breaching RBI directions.
Impact
The bank must absorb the monetary penalty and any internal compliance remediation that follows. The order does not itself restrict operations, but it signals supervisory concerns over product-selling disclosures and transparency practices; RBI also noted that further action may be initiated separately.
