Case brief
RBI imposed a monetary penalty of ₹2.10 lakh on Mehsana District Central Co-operative Bank Ltd., Mehsana (Gujarat). The penalty was for non-compliance with KYC directions and CIC membership/data submission requirements.
Impact
The bank must absorb the monetary penalty and ensure tighter compliance with KYC review/update processes and CIC data submission requirements going forward. The action does not itself impose a business restriction, but it signals ongoing supervisory expectations and compliance obligations.
