Case brief
RBI imposed a ₹5 lakh penalty on Lokmangal Co-operative Bank Limited, Solapur for KYC non-compliance. The bank failed to periodically review account risk categories and update KYC accordingly.
Impact
The bank must absorb the penalty and address the identified KYC control gaps going forward. There is no stated restriction on operations, but the bank remains exposed to further supervisory or enforcement action if similar non-compliance continues.
Why RBI acted
