Case brief
RBI has imposed a monetary penalty of Rs 2.50 lakh on Jilla Sahakari Kendriya Bank Maryadit, Bhind, Madhya Pradesh. The penalty was for failing to transfer eligible unclaimed amounts to the Depositor Education and Awareness Fund on time.
Impact
The bank must absorb the penalty and address the compliance lapse identified by RBI. There is no stated restriction on its operations in this release, but the finding may leave the bank exposed to further supervisory action if similar non-compliance continues.
