Case brief
RBI imposed a penalty of ₹0.75 lakh on The Jalna People’s Cooperative Bank Ltd., Jalna for non-compliance with gold-loan bullet repayment directions. The bank had sanctioned such loans beyond the prescribed regulatory limit.
Impact
The bank must absorb the monetary penalty and remain compliant with RBI’s gold-loan bullet repayment directions going forward. The action does not itself impose a broader operating restriction, but it signals supervisory concern and leaves RBI free to pursue further action if warranted.
Why RBI acted
