Case brief
RBI imposed a monetary penalty of Rs 8.30 lakh on Karur Vysya Bank Limited for non-compliance with directions on the loan system for delivery of bank credit.
Impact
Karur Vysya Bank must bear the penalty and remain compliant with RBI’s lending directions going forward. The order does not itself void customer transactions, but it signals regulatory breach and leaves the bank exposed to any further action RBI may choose to initiate.
Why RBI acted
Regulatory basis
- Section 47A(1)(c) read with Section 46(4)(i) of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949
