Case brief
RBI imposed a ₹2.03 lakh penalty on Jai Bhawani Sahakari Bank Ltd., Pune. The penalty was for non-compliance with CIC membership and KYC directions.
Impact
The bank must absorb the monetary penalty and continue complying with RBI directions on CIC reporting and KYC risk review. The order does not itself alter customer transactions or impose an operating restriction, but it signals continued supervisory scrutiny and leaves RBI free to initiate further action if warranted.
