Case brief

RBI imposed a ₹40 lakh penalty on Nagar Urban Co-operative Bank Ltd., Ahmednagar for non-compliance with IRAC, exposure-norm and related RBI directions. The bank was also found to have not followed its bye-laws on admitting a co-operative society as a member.

Impact

The bank must absorb the penalty and address the compliance gaps identified by RBI. Although the release does not impose an operational restriction, it signals regulatory censure and may require stronger adherence to IRAC, exposure, and membership-related governance requirements going forward.
