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.

Case brief

RBI withdrew the Section 35A directions previously issued to Kolikata Mahila Co-operative Bank Limited, effective April 10, 2021. The earlier directions had been extended and modified over time.

Impact

From April 10, 2021, the bank is no longer operating under the withdrawn Section 35A directions. The earlier restrictions no longer apply, so depositors and the bank’s operations are no longer subject to those specific conditions.

Regulatory basis

  • Section 35A read with section 56 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 (AACS)
  • sub-section (2) of section 35A read with section 56 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 (AACS)

Case brief

RBI extended the existing restrictions on Kolikata Mahila Co-operative Bank Limited for another three months. The bank may continue operations, but only subject to the imposed directions.

Impact

The bank remains operational but continues to face RBI-imposed restrictions for the extended period ending April 09, 2021. Customers and counterparties must continue to deal with the bank under those constraints, and RBI may alter the directions later depending on the bank’s condition.
