Case brief
RBI has imposed a Rs 4 lakh penalty on Jijamata Mahila Sahakari Bank Limited, Pune. The action follows non-compliance with KYC and fraud reporting directions.
Impact
The bank must absorb the monetary penalty and address the compliance gaps identified by RBI, particularly in KYC risk categorisation reviews and timely fraud reporting. The action does not by itself impose an ongoing operating restriction, but it signals heightened supervisory scrutiny over the bank's compliance controls.
Why RBI acted
Regulatory basis
- Section 47A (1) (c) read with Section 46 (4) (i) and Section 56 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949
