M/s Muthoottu Mini Financiers Pvt Ltd

RBI imposed a ₹3.10 lakh penalty on Muthoot MCred Limited for breaching asset classification directions. The company had upgraded certain NPA loan accounts to Standard without full repayment of arrears.

Muthoot MCred Limited must absorb the monetary penalty and ensure future compliance with RBI’s asset classification directions, particularly the requirement that NPA accounts cannot be upgraded to Standard until all arrears of interest and principal across the relevant credit facilities are repaid. The order does not, by itself, impose a further operational restriction, but it signals continued supervisory scrutiny.
