Case brief
RBI imposed a penalty of Rs 25,000 on Jagruti Co-operative Urban Bank Ltd., Hyderabad. The action was for violating RBI instructions/guidelines on Board of Directors for UCBs.
Impact
The bank must absorb the monetary penalty of Rs 25,000; no separate operational restriction or licence action was announced in this release. The action is backward-looking and mainly signals supervisory non-compliance on board governance.
