Case brief
RBI imposed a ₹7 lakh penalty on Indapur Urban Cooperative Bank Ltd., Indapur, Maharashtra. The penalty was for breaching RBI’s exposure norms by granting unsecured advances beyond the applicable ceiling.
Impact
The penalty has no stated operational restriction beyond the monetary sanction, but it signals a regulatory breach that the bank must address. The bank remains in business, while RBI has formally recorded non-compliance with exposure norms.
