Case brief

RBI imposed a monetary penalty of ₹13.38 lakh on Kosamattam Finance Limited, Kottayam. The penalty was for non-compliance with NBFC directions relating to credit information reporting and loan-to-value compliance.

Impact

The company must absorb the penalty and ensure future compliance with RBI’s NBFC directions, especially credit information reporting for gold loans and adherence to LTV norms. The order does not invalidate customer transactions or agreements, but it signals supervisory non-compliance that can lead to further enforcement if repeated.
