Case brief
RBI imposed a Rs 17.50 lakh penalty on Janata Sahakari Bank Limited, Pune. The bank was found non-compliant with RBI directions on asset classification and charges on deposit accounts.
Impact
The bank must absorb the monetary penalty and address the compliance gaps identified by RBI. The penalty does not, by itself, restrict operations, but the issues flagged may invite further supervisory or enforcement action if not corrected.
Why RBI acted
