Case brief
RBI imposed a ₹1 lakh penalty on Kolikata Mahila Co-operative Bank Limited, West Bengal. The action was for failing to submit its FY 2023-24 accounts, balance-sheet and auditor’s report to RBI on time.
Impact
The bank must absorb the penalty and remain compliant with statutory reporting obligations going forward. The release does not impose any operational restriction on customers, but it signals continued supervisory scrutiny and potential for further action if compliance lapses persist.
